Help us move the world for animals

More than 136,000 marine mammals like seals, turtles and whales are trapped and killed by lost or discarded fishing gear each year.

550,000 wild animals are trapped in wildlife tourist attractions across the world.

Approximately 10 million dogs are inhumanely killed every year due to fear of rabies.

Two-thirds of the 70 billion animals farmed for food each year live in inhumane conditions.

Whatever the cause and whether it’s done purposefully, carelessly or unknowingly, it is preventable and must be stopped.
