Our Programs

ISAR’s main goal is to reduce (if not eliminate) the immoral overpopulation of dogs and cats, and the adverse impact on the public fiscal, health, safety, welfare, and environment through emphasizing spay/neuter as a major solution to the problem. To implement that goal, we currently devote substantial resources to three major programs:

Model Legislation, such as, Spay/Neuter Tax Deduction, Spay/Neuter Tax Deduction (Part II), Mandatory Identification of Companion Dogs and Cats, Mandatory Microchipping (English), Mandatory Microchipping (Spanish), Adoption Sterilization, Department of Animal Affairs, Euthanasia Statistics, Mandatory Spay/Neuter (English), Mandatory Spay/Neuter (Spanish), Dog Breeding, Facilitation and Sales, Prohibition of Devocalization, Prohibition of Retail Commercial Sale of Dogs and Cats, Policy, Law and Morality of Spay/Neuter, Regulation of Dog Breeding, Facilitation and Sales, and Prohibition of Retail Commercial Sale of Dogs and Cats.

Humane education, via billboards, sponsorship of Animals Today Radio, and Special Reports, such as, Prime Source of Canine Overpopulation: The American Kennel Club, Solving Animal Behavior Problems, Dog and Cat Overpopulation, Dog and Cat Overpopulation and Juvenile Spay/Neuter, High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinics, Pet Identification and Overpopulation, Pet Overpopulation Study, Dog and Cat Survey, Organizing a Spay/Neuter Mobile, Dog Overpopulation and Puppy Mills, and Animals and Standing to Sue.

International Homeless Animals’ Day, A worldwide ISAR conceived and implemented consciousness-raising memorial to the countless dogs and cats that have fallen victim to overpopulation during the previous year, at which countless adoptions are arranged and spay/neuter procedures are performed.

The Seeds of Animal Law

“Seeds” are defined as “the source, origin, or beginning of anything,” giving rise in the context of Animal Law to three important historical questions: What were the seeds, who planted them in the United States, and what have they grown into in service to the cause of animal rights?

The first two questions are answered HERE. From time to time, in this section of our site ISAR will post links which answer the third question.

As to the growth of seeds, readers will note that elsewhere on this page the following Tribute to ISAR appears:

“By attending ISAR’s International Symposium on Dog and Cat Overpopulation I learned a great deal and ISAR probably changed all of India as a result.” Hon. Maneka Ghandi, Minister of the Environment.

On September 15, 2017, she made the following announcement: “Hyderabad: Center for Animal Law coming up.”

Announcing ISAR’s SEEDS Awards

As another year passes with the Animal Law movement continuing its steady growth, ISAR has created its SEEDS Awards to honor individuals and not-for-profit entities who have made exceptional contributions to the important and burgeoning field of Animal Law.
