Food for Animals is an American hip hop group formed in 2001 near Washington, D.C.. The group features Vulture Voltaire (Andrew Field-Pickering), Ricky Rabbit (Nick Rivetti), Dr. Dan (Daniel Helmer), and HY (Sterling Warren). Their music is generally categorized as underground hip hop with a strong tendency towards noise music. According to Pitchfork, their current albums feature a sound best appreciated by "those with a high tolerance for serial grime and a taste for the sharper, harder edge of hip-hop".

Field Pickering, a Washington, D.C. DJ, and Ricky Rabbit formed the band and quickly booked gigs along the East Coast, shows which occasionally caused comparisons with Public Enemy and found praise from critics.
