Consider The Source is a project of the National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA) that provides evidence-based information about complex and controversial issues affecting animals and the people who live and work with them.

The mission of NAIA is to promote animal welfare, to strengthen the human-animal bond, and safeguard the rights of responsible animal owners. One of our most important tasks is educating the public about the critical difference between animal rights and animal welfare.
