DO YOU WANT TO HELP ANIMALS AND PROTECT THEM FROM ABUSE?
BECOME AN ANIMAL PROTECTOR
Pigs, cows, chickens, and other animals killed for food are almost invisible because the meat industry hides them from us.
Although they also feel and suffer, they are the most defenseless animals. Fortunately, they can count on you!
Join the Animal Protectors, Animal Equality’s online action team, and help end the fear and pain animals feel on farms and in slaughterhouses:
- Promote laws to end animal cruelty.
- Discover and show the world what happens in factory farms and slaughterhouses.
- Inspire people to consider animals and replace animal products with plant-based proteins.
- Persuade companies to raise their animal welfare standards.
All of this can be carried out through simple actions that we will send via email that you can do from home, using your cell phone or computer, in just minutes:
- Sign petitions against animal cruelty.
- Contact your political representatives (sending an email, calling their office, or sending a message on social media) to support laws that protect animals from abuse.
- Make your voice heard by companies and demand that they respect animals.
The animals need you. Sign up today!
