WHO WE ARE
Animal Equality was founded in 2006 by Sharon Nunez, Javier Moreno and Jose Valle with one mission: to protect animals. The enthusiasm for and commitment to that mission has only grown since then and has enabled us to deliver impactful results for animals.
Today, Animal Equality is one of the most effective advocates for farmed animals in the world, working on four continents on behalf of farmed animals. We are working in countries where there is the most opportunity to create lasting, systemic change for animals. We work with society, governments and companies so that we can achieve our vision: a world in which all animals are protected and respected.
What we stand for
As an international animal protection organisation, we work to end cruelty to farmed animals.
Whether we’re working to inform the public about the horrific reality inside factory farms and slaughterhouses, lobbying governments to adopt laws that protect animals, or encouraging major companies to implement policies that benefit animals, we never lose sight of our founding principles.
Our vision
Animal Equality’s vision is a world in which all animals are respected and protected.
Our mission
Animal Equality is an international organisation, working with society, governments and companies to end cruelty to farmed animals.

TAKING PRIDE IN DIVERSITY
At Animal Equality, diversity and inclusion have been embedded in our values since we were founded in 2006. We seek to build a diverse organisation of people regardless of their race, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, disability status, or any other dimension of individuality.
Our staff come from across the globe, including 13 different countries and four continents. And across the eight countries that Animal Equality works in, we hire locally so that we can best adjust our programming to maximise the impact for animals.
HELPING ANIMALS ACROSS THE GLOBE
