Original Studies

Our unique research provides answers to achieve real change for animals
Faunalytics is one of those organizations that I look at with absolute awe. The services they provide to the animal protection community are unique and necessary.

— Jasmin Singer, Host of Our Hen House and
author of Always Too Much And Never Enough
We firmly believe that the best decisions for animals are based in data and informed by high-quality research. That's why one of the first things Fish Welfare Initiative does when embarking on a new project is to check Faunalytics to see what research is available.

— Haven King-Nobles, Fish Welfare Initiative
Faunalytics fills an important gap in animal advocacy by making research accessible. I have consistently been impressed by their ability to present research findings in a clear and compelling way. Their work enables advocates to interpret, learn from, and apply data to their efforts.

— Roisin McAuley, Animal Charity Evaluators
I have found Faunalytics to be an invaluable source of information on human-animal interactions, attitudes towards other species, and the animal protection movement. I regularly use their website to keep up with current research findings – their reports on specific issues are comprehensive and refreshingly objective.

— Harold Herzog, Ph.D.,Professor of Psychology, Western Carolina University
Working with Faunalytics has helped Animal Equality further understand the importance of the animal protection movement answering its big questions on strategy and campaigns through data and research.

— Sharon Nuñez, Co-Founder, Animal Equality
I support Faunalytics because their research guides the decisions made by leaders at the top organizations working to help animals, and can amplify the effectiveness of those organizations. Every dollar they get has an exponential effect in terms of how many animals can be positively impacted.

— David Meyer, CEO, Adopt-a-Pet.com
