Our Mission

COLAA is a Louisiana non-profit corporation organized according to a set of bylaws and run democratically.

Our policies are consistent with the perceptions and beliefs of the majority of humane-minded people.  We have, for example, taken strong positions against dog fighting, cockfighting, puppy mills, animals as toys or prizes, canned hunts (killing animals in enclosures for a fee), harassment of wild horses on public lands, and slaughter of livestock.

We advocate alternatives to animals and the proper treatment of animals used in research.  We support (and have been responsible for the establishment of) strong penalities for animal cruelty and pet theft.
