See the impact HSI makes globally

We’re driving positive change for animals

We’re convincing leading food service providers to go cage-free.

We’re getting national bans on animal testing of cosmetics passed in countries around the world.

We’re fighting the dog meat trade and dealing effectively and humanely with companion animal overpopulation.

Making progress

We continue to push the incremental but steady shift in people’s mindsets to increased awareness of welfare issues, better-informed consumer choices and support both for initiatives providing relief to animals and laws mandating their protection.
