WE NEED YOUR HELP TO BAN LIVE ANIMAL MARKETS
OUR VISION AND MISSION
Animal Equality’s vision is a world in which all animals are respected and protected.
Animal Equality is an international organization working with society, governments, and companies to end cruelty to farmed animals.
OUR VALUES
As an animal protection organization, we are guided by compassion, determination, and effectiveness. Using these values to launch innovative projects and strategic campaigns, we work to expose and abolish the cruel practices of the animal agriculture industry.
OUR WORK
Our teams in the United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Mexico, Brazil, and India consist of highly qualified professionals with years of experience in undercover investigations, corporate campaigns, political outreach, and the development of large-scale education programs.
OUR COMMITMENT
With over ten years of experience in international campaigns, we are committed to saving as many animals as possible and to reducing the enormous suffering animals endure on factory farms. Our commitment to continually assessing the impact of our campaigns and programs makes us increasingly efficient at saving lives.
