This full-color periodical examines issues regarding animals everywhere—in the laboratory, on the farm, in commercial trade, at home, and in the wild. It is distributed to over 46,000 individuals and organizations, including public libraries, deans of medical and veterinary schools, laboratory technicians, scientists, farmers, teachers, law enforcement officers, shelters, animal protection organizations, members of Congress, and AWI members.
A subscription of the AWI Quarterly—available in both print and digital form—is included in your AWI membership. In addition to the AWI Quarterly, AWI membership includes an opportunity to receive free copies of our books and other materials as they are published. Click here to join AWI today.

Spring 2020 AWI Quarterly PDF
In this issue, we report on our investigation of enforcement of state farm animal welfare laws. We break down the NIH’s unconscionably decision to continue housing former research chimps at NIH research facilities rather than send them to a proper, federally approved sanctuary. We highlight personal steps you can take to protect birds and profile important animal welfare bills before Congress on which you can take action.

In this issue, you can read all about the positive outcomes for elephants, otters, and a host of other wild animals at this year’s CITES meeting in Geneva.
