Because animals need their fur coats more than we do. On animal fur factory farms around the world, millions of rabbits, foxes, mink, chinchillas and raccoon dogs spend their entire lives in cramped cages, deprived of the ability to engage in natural behaviors—only to be crudely gassed or electrocuted at the end. In the wild, animals are caught in crippling leghold traps for days without food or water....

In a huge win for animals, the Louisville, KY Metro Council voted to stop the sale of puppy mill puppies in pet stores!

The ordinance also stops the sale of puppies and kittens in outdoor markets, like flea markets and parking lots.

HSUS worked closely with local lawmakers, groups, and advocates. This brings us one step closer to the day when cruel puppy mills have nowhere left to sell!

Cruelty-Free Beauty Brands We Can't Stop Talking About Shopping for cruelty-free beauty products can be challenging. Brands have a way with words that can make it difficult to know whether or not a product, let alone an entire portfolio, is in the clear. For example, a brand being vegan doesn’t necessarily mean it’s cruelty-free, and not all cruelty-free brands are vegan....

The shocking number of animal cruelty cases reported every day is just the tip of the iceberg—most cases are never reported.

Here are 11 animal abuse facts that you should be aware of:
