OUR WORK
Our teams in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, USA, and India consist of highly qualified professionals with years of experience in undercover investigations, corporate campaigns, political outreach and the development of large-scale education programmes.
OUR COMMITMENT
With over ten years of experience in international campaigns, we are committed to saving as many animals as possible and to reducing the enormous suffering animals endure on factory farms. Our commitment to continually assessing the impact of our campaigns and programmes makes us increasingly efficient at saving lives.
Save Animals, Eat Plant‑Based
As a consumer, you hold the power to protect animals from the meat industry. Every plant-based meal saves animals from a life of misery in factory farms and slaughterhouses.
Our work
Animal Equality works strategically in four distinct areas to ensure progress for animals.
OUR CAMPAIGNS
Animal Equality uses a broad range of strategic campaigns to ensure all animals are treated with compassion.
Animal Equality by Numbers
The Voice of Our Supporters
When you witness the horror that really happens behind closed doors and slaughterhouses to farm animals all over the world, it’s impossible not to be affected by it and to realise that we have to do something drastic to stop it.
Joaquin Phoenix
Activist and actor, speaking at a protest with Animal Equality in London
Nothing prepares you for looking into the eyes of a mother pig whose life is to be impregnated and left in a cage until she’s slaughtered. I can’t imagine how awful it must be to be literally trapped and crushing your own babies and not be able to do anything about it.
Rooney Mara
Activist and actress, speaking about her experience inside a pig farm
Going into that foie gras farm gave me an insight, if only brief, into the lives of the brave activists who venture into factory farms and slaughterhouses to uncover all manner of animal abuses. I’m talking about the investigators who see the kinds of things I saw and feel the kind of pain I felt, and yet make the difficult decision to go back again day after day to do more.
