Mission

A national animal protection organization working to end the abuse of farmed animals.

Programs

3 programs

Investigations: the organization's investigators go undercover inside factory farms and slaughter plants to document the conditions inside these facilities. This regularly includes severe animal cruelty, some of which are considered standard practices within animal agribusiness. As a result of its investigations, the organization has garnered favorable attention in major media outlets as well as local newspapers, television news programs, and others. The organization has completed more than 30 investigations inside the meat, egg, and dairy industries.

Expenses: $356K

Legal advocacy: the organization's legal advocacy program proactively challenges the systemic harms of animal agribusiness through litigation, criminal enforcement, and other legal advocacy. The program has repeatedly secured criminal enforcement and civil accountability for the mistreatment of animals, documented in the organization's undercover investigations. The program also conducts strategic litigation to protect compassionate consumers from manipulation and unfair business practices by the animal agriculture industry.

Expenses: $265K

Food system reform: the food system reform program, also called "farm transitions," works to reform the status quo of the animal agribusiness system by revolutionizing food systems through providing farmers and related businesses with comprehensive support to transform their animal agribusiness to a successful future-forward plant-focused agribusiness.

Expenses: $144K
