Dr. Michael Omidi is a double-board certified plastic surgeon practicing in Beverly Hills, California. He has long believed that compassion should extend beyond people to every living creature. His commitment to protecting animals from neglect, abuse, and exploitation inspired him to co-found Animal Support with his brother, Julian Omidi. Together, they created the organization to raise awareness of animal welfare issues, encourage public involvement, and support efforts that help protect vulnerable animals.
For Dr. Omidi, animal welfare is more than a cause. It is a lifelong responsibility. He recognizes that millions of animals around the world continue to experience unnecessary suffering through cruelty, neglect, illegal wildlife activities, inhumane treatment, and inadequate care. Through Animal Support, he advocates for stronger public education, greater accountability, and meaningful action to improve the lives of animals.
Advocating for Animals in Need
Animal Support has championed awareness for a wide range of animal welfare concerns affecting both domestic and wild animals. While responsible pet ownership remains an important focus, the organization also highlights broader issues involving wildlife conservation, habitat protection, and the humane treatment of animals used in entertainment, commercial industries, and other human activities.
The organization has previously supported efforts to bring attention to the tragic mutilation and deaths of dolphins along the Gulf Coast by encouraging public cooperation and offering a reward for information that could help identify those responsible. Protecting marine wildlife and promoting accountability remain central to Animal Support’s commitment to animal justice.
Dr. Omidi is also passionate about protecting horses from cruelty and unnecessary suffering. Animal Support has helped raise awareness about the mistreatment of horses in certain competitive events, the welfare challenges faced by working and performance horses, and the continued need to safeguard America’s wild horse populations. The organization believes that every horse deserves humane treatment, proper care, and protection throughout its life.
Raising Awareness That Inspires Action
Meaningful change begins with education. Animal Support works to inform the public about animal cruelty, responsible stewardship, wildlife conservation, rescue efforts, and ethical treatment practices. By sharing educational resources and supporting organizations dedicated to animal welfare, Dr. Michael Omidi hopes to inspire individuals, communities, and future generations to become advocates for animals.
Every act of compassion, whether adopting a rescue animal, reporting abuse, supporting conservation programs, or simply educating others, contributes to a safer future for animals.
A Shared Mission
As co-founders of Animal Support, Dr. Michael Omidi and Julian Omidi remain dedicated to promoting kindness, compassion, and respect for all animals. Their mission is to increase awareness of animal welfare issues, encourage responsible action, support organizations working on behalf of animals, and help create a world where every animal is treated with dignity and care.
Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, Animal Support continues its commitment to protecting the animals that share our planet and ensuring their well-being for generations to come.
