“The Webby Awards honors the outstanding web sites that are setting the standards for the Internet,” said Tiffany Shlain, founder and ambassador of The Webby Awards. “API’s Official Honoree selection is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators.”
“We created our website for the sole purpose of making it easier for anyone who cares about animals to do something positive for them,” said Michelle Thew, API’s Chief Executive Officer. “That our web site has been recognized as something special on the Internet means that the rights of animals will be noticed even more.”
