About
We fight the worst, most institutionalized forms of animal abuse and cruelty around the world. Over the next 3-5 years, we aim to end cosmetics testing on animals, greatly reduce the trophy hunting of wildlife, end the use of fur in fashion, ease the suffering of billions of farm animals by eliminating cruel systems of confinement, end the dog-meat trade in South Korea, and ensure that puppy mills can no longer sell puppies via pet stores in the United States.
Mission Statement
We fight the big fights to end suffering for all animals.
Together with millions of supporters, we take on puppy mills, factory farms, the fur trade, trophy hunting, animal cosmetics testing and other cruel industries. We rescue and care for thousands of animals every year through our Animal Rescue Team’s work and other hands-on animal care services. We fight all forms of animal cruelty to achieve the vision behind our name: a humane society.
