Livestock and wildlife in live animal auctions endure extreme mistreatment by their handlers. These animals are peddled off like objects to whoever offers the most money for them. Stop these auctions from happening in the U.S.
Sturgeon fish are brutally cut open–often while still alive and conscious–so that their eggs can be stolen from their ovaries and sold as caviar. A “delicacy” that causes so much suffering and pain is no delicacy at all. Demand a ban against caviar in the state of New York.
Hundreds to thousands of scared companion animals, wildlife, and livestock experience severe mental and physical trauma every year because of the loud explosive noises that fireworks release. Demand stricter regulations on the purchase and use of these environmentally hazardous devices.
The exotic pet trade industry is particularly cruel, and animals that end up as pets are either trapped and stolen from their homes by poachers or bred into a life of captivity. Demand that action is taken, and ban the ownership of exotic animal throughout the U.S.

Mice, rats, birds, fish, and reptiles are used in animal testing experiments more often than any other species. This means they endure painful physical and psychological procedures without any legal safeguards. Demand that they gain federal protection against inhumane treatment.
Each year, tens of thousands of sharks are murdered for fun during shark killing tournaments. This causes a drastic drop in their already dwindling population. Demand an end to these cruel competitions before more sharks disappear from our oceans.

The barbaric practice of gassing dogs and cats to death may soon be banned in one state. Thank the people who fought for this victory for animal rights.
Hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats are killed in overcrowded shelters every year. Discourage breeders from contributing to pet overpopulation and demand they stop breeding dogs and cats that have life-threatening health problems.

Indonesia has killed thousands of dogs in an attempt to eradicate rabies because they don’t have sufficient vaccines. Encourage the U.S. to provide Indonesia with vaccines to save the lives of countless dogs.
Hundreds of thousands of animals have been saved from cruel and unnecessary drug test research. Thank the U.S. House for ending the archaic mandate that all experimental drugs be tested on animals before they could be used on humans in clinical trials.
Justice has been served to the woman who neglected 135 dogs and 23 horses while operating a horrific underground puppy mill. Sign this petition to thank officials for prosecuting the abuser and encourage them to continue fighting for voiceless animals.
