Animal Language Research

Animal language research, service animals and eliminating rare animal trade

The David Bohnett Foundation supports animal language research, funding of service animals and eliminating the rare animal trade. As living creatures, animals have value beyond economic measurement and are entitled to moral and ethical consideration and protection. Animals can also contribute to the health and well-being of many individuals around the nation. Because of this grants have been given to philanthropic organizations such as the Environmental Investigation Agency, SPCA- Los Angeles, and Guide Dogs of America.
