Companion Animal Protection Alliance

The Companion Animal Protection Alliance (CAPA) is a coalition of individuals brought together by the common desire to protect our companion animals from veterinary malpractice -- which we believe has touched all of our lives by either taking the lives of our dear animal friends or injuring them irreparably.

Through these life-changing and eye-opening incidents, and our subsequent attempts to see the veterinarians held accountable, we became aware of the virtual absence of any kind of accountability for harm done to our pets, particularly when that harm is committed by "licensed professionals."

We became committed to changing this system by fostering consumer awareness and education, fighting to expose the veterinary boards who fail to honor the public trust by coddling and protecting vets who kill and injure animals, and fighting for recognition of our pets' value in the eyes of the law.
