The mission of National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA) is to promote the welfare of animals, to strengthen the human-animal bond, and to safeguard the rights of responsible animal owners, enthusiasts, and professionals through research, public information, and sound public policy. 

NAIA represents a broad spectrum of animal owners and endorses the development and advancement of high standards of care for pets, livestock, and working animals. NAIA also promotes scientifically based wildlife management, sustainable development and use of resources, and agricultural practices that consider humans and livestock as an integral part of the environment.

NAIA is a moderate organization that supports the rule of law and opposes illegal acts whether committed by animal abusers or animal rights extremists. NAIA also opposes so-called educational campaigns that use "consciousness-raising"​ exercises that depend on sensationalism or misrepresentation of facts about animal issues. Such misrepresentations cause widespread misunderstandings of critical issues that ultimately harm people, animals, and society.

NAIA draws a distinction between animal welfare and animal rights and presents policy statements to make our position clear: we exist and operate to acknowledge the human-animal bond and to support the humane and responsible care and treatment of animals in the settings where they are kept, raised, and responsibly used. NAIA supports reasonable legal protections for animals, not legal rights for animals.
