History
Animal Kingdom Foundation was founded in 2002 by Charles Leslie Wartenberg after learning about the dog meat trade in the Philippines. Slaughtering dogs for their meat is illegal in the Philippines.[1] Wartenberg therefore assembled a team intended to attempt to save dogs from slaughter and hold the practitioners liable. They have conducted many raids and interceptions in various locations, saving thousands of dogs.[2]
Disaster Response
AKF has initiated quick responses during volcanic eruptions, floods, typhoons, and other natural disasters by providing veterinary attention, feeding and rescue of the affected animals while also providing immediate shelter to the surviving dogs.[3]
