Farmed for bile and baited for entertainment
In Asia, bears are forced into cages and farmed for their bile. In Romania, they spend their lives as attractions in cages, while in Pakistan, bears are forced into baiting, the world’s most savage blood sport. Taken as cubs, they have their claws blunted, teeth removed and are then tied to a post and forced to fight dogs for entertainment. Donate here. Find out where your money goes here.
Starved, stray and shot at
80% of the world’s 400 million dogs struggle for survival on the streets. Fearful of rabies, some governments resort to cruel mass culling of dogs, by poisoning, shooting and drowning. By helping us immunize dogs against rabies, you can help stop this inhumane killing. Donate here. Find out where your money goes here.
Overworked and poorly cared for
Around the world, millions of donkeys, mules and horses toil in unbearable conditions and suffer from inadequate care. We aim to lighten their load. Problems include overwork, overloading, poor materials for pack and harness, inhumane methods of restraint, beating, lameness, and lack of water. Donate here. Find out where your money goes here.
Born, bred and slaughtered
In terms of scale of suffering, industrialised farming systems are responsible for the world’s most serious animal welfare problems. Many of the 60 billion animals living in these unnatural, intensive production systems never see daylight or have the chance to behave naturally. And their lives often end with inhumane handling and slaughter. Donate here. Find out where your money goes here.
Lambs to the slaughter
Every year, millions of live animals are shipped overseas. The journey lasts up to four weeks in heat up to 40 degrees, during which time they can suffer heat stress, disease, and cramped conditions that can lead to a slow and terrifying death. If they do survive, they are often slaughtered inhumanely in front of each other, at their destination. Donate here. Find out where your money goes here.
Big animals with big hearts
In Tanzania, elephants are routinely shot by farmers trying to protect their crops. Due to their size, this often leads to a slow, painful death. Because elephants have such strong family ties, any harm caused to one member causes serious distress to the entire elephant family. Donate here. Find out where your money goes here.
Caged, tortured, killed
The fur industry is responsible for the intense suffering of over a billion animals every year. Animals that die to produce non-essential luxury and increasingly non-luxury fashion items include rabbits (reportedly 92% of fur animals are rabbits, ie. almost one billion), foxes, mink, raccoons, seals, wolves, coyotes squirrels, cats and dogs.
