In Memoriam
Sylvia M. Bancroft
May 8th, 2010

We mourn the passing of Sylvia Bancroft, our principal founding member, Director and Board Member, who worked tirelessly on behalf of animals for much of her life. She was the driving force behind the Animal Protection Information Service, a resource for animal welfare advocates working to influence legislation to ensure the humane treatment of animals, often working late into the night, seven days a week, refusing to yield to the challenges of a body no longer able to keep up with her passion for the work. With Sylvia’s passing, all animals have lost a dedicated and energetic voice. R.I.P.
