Welcome to the Animal Anti-Cruelty League
The Animal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL), has been protecting and caring for animals since 1956. It is South Africa’s second largest independent Animal Welfare Organization, relying entirely on the generosity and goodwill of the animal-loving public for financial support.
We are an organization that gets involved with all aspects of animal welfare: provide shelter for abandoned animals, promote an efficient adoption programme, prosecute animal cruelty cases, run welfare hospitals for lower income groups, visit underprivileged areas with fully equipped mobile clinics and regularly address schools and clubs on the challenges of animal welfare.
We have branches in the major centres of the country – Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Ladysmith and the farming area of Bredasdorp. Please note: The ANIMAL ANTI-CRUELTY LEAGUE its branches and/or Member Societies are NOT PRO-LIFE ORGANIZATIONS and are certainly not ANIMAL RIGHTISTS.
LET US SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!
Becoming an AACL Member is a great way to show your support for abandoned, neglected, sick and surrendered animals. Our Membership program helps raise funds and awareness and means AACL is able to provide essential education about animal care and welfare. It also means we can provide programs and services to the indigent communities through South Africa, which can make a life-saving difference to both animals and their owners.
