As reflected
through his works and his generosity to various animal welfare
organizations, Edward Gorey was a great advocate of animals,
large and small, all over the world.
The
following are some of the organizations Edward expressed a fondness
for in his lifetime.
We are also working closely with Tufts Veterinary School in
an effort to raise awareness about other animal welfare causes
on the Cape and all over Massachusetts through collaborative
exhibits and programs.
The
Edward Gorey House is proud to include these organizations in
our mission to promote animal welfare: |
