Animal Ethics (AE) is an American nonprofit organization based in Oakland, California, founded in 2012 by Daniel Dorado, Oscar Horta, and Leah McKelvie. The organization produces educational materials and carries out outreach on animal ethics topics including speciesism, sentience, veganism and wild animal suffering, and describes its aim as extending moral consideration to all sentient beings. Its website publishes content in multiple languages, and it has expanded its work to additional language audiences and regions. Horta has said that one reason for establishing the organization was to promote welfare biology as a field of research. Animal Ethics has run projects including essay prizes and an online course focused on wild animal suffering, and was recommended by Animal Charity Evaluators as a standout charity from December 2015 to November 2017.
