Honoring Dr. González: A Champion for Animal Justice

Each year, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) recognizes outstanding individuals who dedicate their careers to fighting animal cruelty and advocating for stronger protections for animals. As part of National Justice for Animals Week 2025 (February 24-28), we are thrilled to celebrate Dr. González as one of ALDF’s Top Animal Defenders!

National Justice for Animals Week: Fighting for a Safer Future

National Justice for Animals Week is a time to raise awareness about animal cruelty and the importance of enforcing animal protection laws. The theme for 2025 is "Fighting Animal Cruelty, Honoring Animal Victims," highlighting the urgent need to address issues such as:

  • Animal fighting

  • Hoarding cases

  • Recidivism among abusers

  • The link between violence toward animals and violence toward humans

ALDF uses this week to educate the public, law enforcement, and lawmakers about how they can take action to protect vulnerable animals.

Why Dr. González Deserves This Recognition

Dr. González has made an incredible impact in the field of animal protection, applying their expertise to educate, support law enforcement in cruelty cases, and provide critical testimony on behalf of animal victims. Their dedication to seeking justice for animals and advocating for stronger laws embodies the spirit of this important week.

In a world where animal victims cannot speak for themselves, Dr. González stands as a powerful voice for the voiceless. Their compassionate advocacy and professional expertise have helped create safer communities for animals and humans alike.

How You Can Get Involved

National Justice for Animals Week is an opportunity for everyone to take action. Here are a few ways to support the cause: Learn about animal protection laws in your state. Report suspected animal cruelty. Support organizations like the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Advocate for stronger animal welfare legislation. Share stories like Dr. González’s to inspire others!
