Together
we can help animals by building a humane economy
Our
successes
Modernizing the $1.35 Trillion Pharmaceutical Industry and Reducing Animal Testing
Through our Modernize Testing campaign, the Center led efforts to end the federal mandate for animal testing in drug development.
Ending Kangaroo Leather in Athletic Footwear
Our Kangaroos Are Not Shoes campaign convinced the top eight global athletic shoe brands, including Nike, Puma, and Adidas to abandon kangaroo leather in soccer cleats.
Crippling the Global Cockfighting Crime Syndicate
Through our Animal Fighting Is the Pits campaign, the Center helped outlaw cockfighting in all U.S. jurisdictions — including the U.S. territories.
Promoting and Defending Cage-Free Animal Agriculture
Our Cage-Free Future campaign helped uphold California’s Prop 12 and other state laws limiting in-state sales of animal products from factory farms using immobilizing crates and cages.
Ending Horse Slaughter
Through our Ending Horse Slaughter campaign, the Center is pushing to end the slaughter of American horses for human consumption — with slaughter numbers plummeting from 400,000 to about 20,000.
Breaking the Dairy Monopoly in Public Schools
Along with Switch4Good, we are on the verge of breaking the dairy industry’s stranglehold in school cafeterias by providing millions of students with a humane, non-dairy beverage.
We need not accept the idea of routine cruelty in agriculture, entertainment, wildlife management, or any other part of our economy and culture. Together, by reinforcing what business leaders are doing and ready to do, we can create a new normal when it comes to our human relationship with animals.

End the use of confinement crates
We want animals conscripted into food production to be able to move freely.
End Bear Baiting
We must stop trophy hunters from shooting more than 10,000 bears every year by luring them with bait piles on federal lands.
Stop Animal Fighting
Animal fighting is not only barbaric, it’s entangled with illegal gambling, money laundering, narcotics trafficking, and human-on-human violence.
End Animal Testing
The FDA must stop causing the needless torment of beagles, primates and other animals in new drug approvals.
Stop the slaughter of kangaroos
We must end the world’s largest commercial slaughter of land Mammals for athletic shoes and other garments.
Save Dairy Cows From Torment
Eliminating the government milk mandate in public schools, which ignores the sacrifices of dairy cows, will lessen unwanted milk distribution.
