History
Founded in 1990 by retired veterinarian Francis Spoleto who had a general love and care for animals and wanted to ensure there welfare were protected by rights.
The Animal Justice Party was the first West Phoenician political to focus primarily on the welfare of animals.
Beginning as a grassroots movement to educate the population on animal welfare. Protests were a regular occurrence in the early 90', members would protest outside organisations that engaged in animal testing, outside circuses and other entertainment venues which they deemed were cruel or inhumane to animals.
At the 1992 National Election they failed to win any seats.
However at a city-state level they picked up a small number of seats to gain representation.
Ideology
The Animal Justice Party has always been a party that advocates for the welfare of animals.
However over the years to remain relevant and competitive against other parties, it incorporated Socially progressive and Green policies to their ideology.
