Introduction and Background:
In Defense of Animals has a rich history in the northern region of Mississippi. IDA works with law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys, judges, veterinarians, media, businesses, animal advocates, shelters, saddle clubs, dog hunters and their association, civic boards and leaders, legislators, and other interested community members has garnered a reputation of both respect and dread. In both cases IDA has earned respect for the standards we set, the consistency of our ethics and our tenacity for investigating and addressing cruelty, traditions steeped in abuse, and cultural ignorance. We have literally worked hundreds of cases, and rescued thousands of animals. IDA has made a mark on the region.
A Deep South where all animals are treated with dignity and respect.
