With you by our side, we're working to end this cruelty for good, here and everywhere the dog and cat meat trade exists. Add your voice today and urge China to end the cruelty of the dog and cat meat trade.

How to help a cat you find outside

If you’ve ever spotted a cat outside and wondered whether to step in, the answer may surprise you. Not every cat found outdoors needs rescuing, and bringing a cat to a shelter isn’t always the best course of action. In this blog post, our senior program manager of cat protection and policy, Danielle Bays, breaks down what the research shows about stray cats and shares practical steps you can take to help. Read the full post to learn how to tell when a cat truly needs your help.

New fur farm investigation

A recent investigation by one of our partners exposes the reality of life on fur farms in China, underlying why this cruel industry needs to be shut down. Millions of mink, foxes and raccoon dogs spend their lives confined to small, barren wire cages before being killed. The fur trade is in steep decline, and with your continued support, we're committed to ending it for good. Learn more and sign our petition to help end cruel fur farming worldwide.
