Animal Rights Hawai'i is a not for profit animal advocacy organization. We are all volunteers and are deeply committed to working for total animal liberation. ARH is not a shelter nor do we provide legal advice. We do campaign for more statutory protection for animals and for more agressive enforcement of existing laws.
