Adda
 Spain  |  Animals/Wildlife

To denounce the abuse and ill treatment of animals, to promote and participate in drawing up appropriate legal standards, and to pressurise through acts of protest or vindication,

Founded in 1976, the association Defensa Derechos Animal (Defending Animal Rights), was the first Spanish NGO devoted to the defence and well-being of animals in general. Declared to be of "Public Benefit" in 1981 and non-lucrative, ADDA is a non-governmental, apolitical and independent organization. Given that in Spain there was a lack of specific legislation on the subject, one of the first and foremost goals set by ADDA was to channel all its efforts into petitioning for, repeatedly and for years, a legal setting, specifically to protect animals, whereby multiple legal aspects are contemplated to protect them.
