Animal Activist is a semi-automated media research service offered through the IRIS platform. 

It is designed to identify whether the subject of inquiry (SOI) is associated with activism or organizations opposing animal testing, hunting, use of animals in entertainment (e.g., zoos or circuses), or any activities causing animal suffering. 

The service focuses on reputational insight and may include mentions that are not necessarily illegal but may indicate ideological affiliations or advocacy involvement. The search is conducted for one jurisdiction at a time and spans up to 7 years before the order date. Coverage includes English and local languages of the selected jurisdiction.
