{{Short description|None}} {{more citations needed|date=January 2021}} {{Animal rights sidebar}} This '''list of animal rights groups''' consists of groups in the [[animal rights movement]]. Such [[animal rights]] groups work towards their ideals, which include the viewpoint that animals should have equivalent rights to humans, such as not being "used" in research, food, clothing and entertainment industries, and seek to end the status of animals as property.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://definitions.uslegal.com/a/animal-rights/ |title=Animal Rights Law and Legal Definition {{pipe}} USLegal, Inc. |website=definitions.uslegal.com |access-date=26 April 2023}}</ref> ([[Cf.]] [[Animal welfare]].)
This list contains only groups, organizations and [[leaderless resistance]] networks that have articles within Wikipedia. <!--ONLY ADD ENTRIES WITH THEIR OWN WIKIPEDIA PAGES. If it's not notable enough to have their own page (or a decent section in another page to which you can link), then it's not notable enough for this page. Feel free to remove redlinks that were once bluelinks (usually caused by pages getting deleted because an organization is not notable).--> {{Dynamic list}} ==Organizations==
