SW: →Lobbying against humane legislation: - fix grammar
According to its website, the NAIA Trusts' ''mission'' is to ''promote animal welfare and safeguard the rights of responsible animal owners''. This includes ''sounding the alarm'' about threats to the ''human-animal bond'' by ''people who mistreat animals and by [[animal rights]] and environmental zealots.'' The NAIA Trust counters ''misinformation'' of the environmental and animal rights movement. <ref>NAIA Trust [http://www.naiatrust.org/index.htm Welcome to NAIA Trust], accessed February 2009</ref>
In fact, NAIA keeps careful track of humane animal welfare legislation being proposed across the country. <ref>NAIA Trust [http://www.naiatrust.org/gov/index.htm Legislative Corner], accessed February 2009</ref>, <ref>NAIA Trust [http://www.naiatrust.org/gov/leg_by_state.html State, County, Municipal Bills Pending: Listed by State], accessed Febrary 2009</ref> The NAIA lobbies in the interests of its clients and ''members'' in industry and commerce. <ref>NAIA [http://www.naiaonline.org/resources/links.htm Sites of Interest], accessed December 2008</ref> It opposes progressive legislation such as spay/neuter, breeding restrictions and humane standards. The NAIA endorses inhumane and unnecessary surgical procedures such as tail docking, ear cropping, debarking and declawing. It also supports horse slaughter, factory farming, pound seizure and [[Puppy Mills]]. See also [[National Animal Interest Alliance]], sections 2 through 6.
