OIPA representatives

OIPA – the International Organization for Animal Protection, is an International Confederation of powerful, cohesive and proactive associations, numbering 170 in the world community. Founded in 1981 by Milly Shar Manzoli, OIPA is a Non Governmental Organization and since 1992, has been associated with the UN Department of Public Information.

The target objective of the Organization is the advancement of animal rights and the protection and defense of all animals, domestic, agricultural, captive and wild, from neglect, exploitation and the brutal mishandling by humans. OIPA also lobbies for global advancement from disease by the use of non animal laboratory experimental models.
