Access to care for pets
The deep connection between people and pets is universal, but access to animal care resources is not. In truly humane communities, everyone can obtain what they need for the animals in their lives.
Animal cruelty
Our toughest fights work to address the systemic cruelties embedded in factory farming, animal research and other industries that impact millions of animals.
Animal fighting
No animal should have to suffer the barbaric practices of dogfighting and cockfighting. Humane World for Animals is working to end this cruelty in all its forms.

Animal rescue and response
Local emergency response departments, humane societies and animal shelters often don’t have the resources to help animal victims of disasters and large-scale cruelty cases. That’s where we come in.
Animal testing and research
We're working globally to replace cruel, outdated animal testing with modern, animal-free research methods that are better for both people and animals.
Banning trophy hunting
Thrill-seekers kill vital wildlife for trophies, display, photos, bragging rights and prizes, and pay big money to kill rare, often endangered, animals abroad and take home their body parts.
Dog and cat welfare
Every day around the world, millions of dogs and cats face neglect and cruelty. From rescues to policy reforms, Humane World for Animals works to protect pets and support people in caring for them.
Ending the dog and cat meat trade
We believe that dogs and cats shouldn't suffer and die for the meat trade. Help us end this cruel and unnecessary practice.
Farm animal welfare
Industrial farms cause animal suffering on an unimaginable scale. We work to improve animal welfare on farms, reducing extreme confinement, and to promote a more plant-forward global food system.
Going fur-free
The fashion industry is changing and it’s time to leave animal cruelty behind. Join us in building a future rooted in compassion, not fur.
Helping captive wildlife
Wild animals belong in their natural habitats, not kept in roadside zoos and circuses for our entertainment. With your help, we’re working to end this cruelty.
Protecting equines
Equines are companions and partners, and it's our responsibility to act as their guardians. Unfortunately, cruelty persists. Humane World for Animals tackles the root causes of this cruelty to end it.
Puppy mills
It's time to end the cruel treatment of dogs in mass breeding operations. We're fighting to stop puppy mills on all possible levels.
Wildlife killing contests
These senseless competitions promote the mass killing of animals for prizes and bragging rights.
