Petition: Send Dolphinaris Arizona Dolphins to a Real Sanctuary!
Dolphins do not belong in captivity. There isn’t a single wild animal that belongs in captivity. They should be in their natural habitat — the ocean, not tanks!

Petition: End the Shark Fin Trade in Peru!
The shark fin trade is one of the biggest threats to sharks.

It seems the world is realizing how cruel fur farming really is. Places like Czech Republic and Ireland have both banned fur farming. However, just when you think the world is getting it, an undercover investigation reveals there is still far too much cruelty. Even if there were just one fur farm open and operating, […]
Petition: Stop Using Tigers as Photo Props!
There is no denying that tigers are beautiful creatures. But they are wild animals who should be free to live in the wild. Unfortunately, humans have chosen not to respect these beautiful animals, but instead exploit them. Tigers are taken to be trained for circuses where they are kept in captivity and forced to perform […]
