National Animal Welfare Association
NAWA is an association of professionals and members to provide support in a
vast amount of areas related to the animal industry.  

The National Animal Welfare Association, (NAWA) is a member based organization of animal professionals, regulated conservation professionals, veterinarians, zoological experts and others. Our focus is to provide industry support services while promoting advancements in animal care that exceed the regular standards.

NAWA believes good animal welfare ideas entail grappling with dissonances and discrepancies arising from inconsistent or conflicting views (i.e., listening to all opinions).  While good research certainly defies simple conceptualization, it is this process of constant reflection, open-mindedness, sharing of information, and interpretation of solid facts (not politics) that renders the animal welfare discussion process fluid, dynamic, and accurate in order for owners to make sound decisions related to any species that may be in their care.

"Every difference of opinions, are not a difference of values."
- Thomas Jefferson -
