Animal Protection and Rescue League
The Animal Protection and Rescue League (or APRL) is an American 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 2003 that works to document and expose cruelty inflicted on animals behind closed doors, particularly in factory farms.
APRL has garnered the attention of national and international media, and has brought its concerns about animal cruelty to the attention of the public.
