About FVA

Florida Voices for Animals (FVA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3).

Co-founded in 1989 by Myriam Parham and her mother, Elena Flanagan, FVA has worked diligently – and on mostly a volunteer basis – to raise awareness about animal cruelty issues and to let the public know what they can do to help animals.

We target all animal issues: Vivisection, exploitation, animals in entertainment, domestic abuse and neglect, factory farm cruelty and wildlife issues. We promote plant-based diets as a way to help the most animals.
