Dog Meat Trade

Across Asia, millions of dogs and cats are brutally killed for meat. In South Korea, dogs are farmed in appalling conditions. HSI works in China, South Korea, Indonesia and Viet Nam to end the cruelty.

Fur

Millions of animals suffer and die every year for fashion. Confined in small, wire-mesh cages on factory farms or captured by brutal metal traps in the wild, their fur is turned into frivolous keychain trinkets or trim on coats and hats.

Disaster Response

HSI provides on-the-ground relief and collaborates with local and global organizations to help animals impacted by and (sometimes unavoidably) left behind in natural disasters. Remember: if you evacuate, take your animals if you possibly can. If it's not safe for you, it's not safe for them.
