		Although President Theodore Roosevelt, himself an avid hunter, established the first National Wildlife Refuge in 1903 to protect brown pelicans and other birds from plume hunters, more than half of the nation's 540 refuges currently allow hunting.
		The non-profit organization is a mainstream voice for animals, with active programs in companion animals and equine protection, disaster preparedness and response, wildlife and habitat protection, animals in research and farm animal welfare.
		The dozens of refuges opened to hunting since 1997 – without any comprehensive environmental review under NEPA -- previously provided undisturbed habitat for dozens of threatened and endangered species, including brown pelicans such as those President Roosevelt sought to protect a century ago.
