I recently had the opportunity to sit with Suzy Welch and discuss how to build a better world for animals through systemic change. I want to say a quick thank you to @SuzyWelch for inviting me onto her podcast. piped.video/watch?v=TXwoF8vR…

A historic moment for animals and public health: Chile is now the first country in South America to eliminate dog-transmitted rabies. This achievement reflects decades of collaboration and commitment. Now, the work continues to ensure no community is excluded from the network of care. humaneworld.org/en/blog/chil…

President Trump’s new executive order, “Reinvigorating America’s Hunting Heritage,” is built on a dangerous myth: that more hunting and more killing equals better conservation. Here is the reality: Expanding the use of toxic lead ammunition puts wildlife and people at risk. Promoting the killing of wild carnivores like wolves, bears, and mountain lions ignores science and threatens healthy ecosystems. And the claim that increased hunting will strengthen local economies overlooks a simple fact: wildlife watching generates far more participation and spending than hunting.

Big win for animals! The FDA announced that it plans to update its drug regulations by removing references to animal testing. This will help make it clear that companies don’t have to submit data from animal tests to have their drugs approved. humaneworld.org/en/blog/win-…

We fought for this, and we won: At the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a simple change in regulatory language will eventually have implications for millions of animals. You can urge the FDA to implement the change as quickly as possible to prevent more animals from suffering. Learn more: humaneworld.org/en/blog/win-…

The puppy mill industry survives by exploiting dogs for profit and people’s love of animals. But awareness is driving real reform, changing the market for good. humaneworld.org/en/blog/more… #PuppyMillAwarenessDay #PuppyMillAwarenessMonth #StopPuppyMills

The Trump administration’s latest reported move against the Endangered Species Act is part of a coordinated attack targeting habitat protections and imperiled species across the U.S. The existence of whole species is at stake. Read more: humaneworld.org/en/blog/trum…

Tourists beware: Wildlife attractions that promise sloths. In Costa Rica, we have recently detected a new and deeply troubling model: sloth parks that guarantee 100% certainty of observing sloths “in their natural environment.” Behind many of these establishments is a story of suffering and illegal trafficking.

Earlier this year, a petition surfaced in front of the California Fish and Game Commission that, if successful, would have allowed private individuals to keep some species of primates as pets. Our wildlife team knows that the wild animal pet trade causes immense suffering on a massive scale, so they took immediate action. They worked quickly to organize opposition to this proposal—and they won. Read this remarkable story.

Scapegoating wolves is part of a package of concessions to the U.S. agriculture industry because American farmers and ranchers are angry about the Trump’s decision to ease tariffs on 300,000 metric tons of imported beef. BUT: Fewer than 1% of cows and sheep are killed by wild carnivores, including wolves, according to @USDA data. Removing protections will result in untold death and cruelty for these animals. The war on wolves needs to end, not escalate. Share if you agree. Read more: humaneworld.org/en/blog/trum…

New York Fashion Week is making history. This month marks the first fur-free NYFW, a milestone that reflects the public’s increasing concern for animals and how they are treated. I'm proud of our partnership with @CFDA and grateful for the leaders and designers proving that creativity and compassion belong together. The future of fashion is about embodying humane values and creating styles that refuse to compromise ethics for aesthetics. #NYFW Read more: humaneworld.org/en/blog/firs…

The war on wolves needs to end, not escalate. A new executive order directs a review of federal protections for gray and Mexican wolves. Decisions about their future should be based on science and recovery—not politics. Our response to the Trump administration's latest move: humaneworld.org/en/news/trum…

Wild animals are not commodities. They are living, breathing creatures with strong wills and instincts to be free. humaneworld.org/en/blog/how-…

Once used in experiments and abandoned, chimpanzees at our sanctuary now live in safety and receive the specialized care they deserve. Their resilience is extraordinary. So is the commitment of the caregivers who help them thrive. Read more about their latest health assessments: humaneworld.org/en/blog/life…

The detection of avian influenza (H5N1) at a Utah mink fur farm last week should change the conversation about government subsidies for a dying industry— and a cruel one to boot— that brings no real social or economic benefit. The Farm bill shouldn’t gamble away public safety and waste taxpayer funds that way. humaneworld.org/en/blog/mink…

The Animal Welfare Act turns 60 this week, and we’re proud of our work in strengthening its impact as a law that reaches animals in laboratories, commercial breeding, transportation, animal fighting, public exhibition and trade. We’re frequently critical of the law and the USDA’s enforcement efforts, but the AWA reflects an important principle, namely, that institutional animal cruelty is not exempt from public concern or the regulatory scope of government. humaneworld.org/en/blog/anim…

Year after year, we have lobbied and litigated to end the horse slaughter trade, and year after year, we have made sure that congressional appropriations language is in place to prevent the BLM from selling horses in a manner that leads to their slaughter. It is impossible to make horse slaughter humane. It’s up to all of us to ensure that the administration hears our calls to action—it’s up to all of us to ensure that Congress makes this the last time America’s wild horses undergo the immense terror of suffering of transport and slaughter. humaneworld.org/en/blog/amer…

Our Animal Rescue team joined police to seize 42 dogs and puppies from an alleged cruelty situation in South Carolina. The team found dogs tethered to chains affixed to the ground. Their paws were inflamed from standing in waste-contaminated water. Overturned barrels and makeshift structures served as their only source of protection from intense heat or heavy rain. They were desperate for affection. No animal should be treated like this. Read more: humaneworld.org/en/blog/stor…
