Animal Equality is an international organization working with society, governments, and companies to end cruelty to farmed animals.

We are committed to saving as many animals as possible and to reducing the enormous suffering animals endure on factory farms.
International
Animal Equality works in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and India. Our teams have decades of experience in undercover investigations, campaigns, legal advocacy, and large-scale education programs.

Our work
Animal Equality combines four strategies in its campaigns to help animals.
We go undercover to document and expose the cruel treatment of animals in factory farms and slaughterhouses. To this day, we have inspected over 1,000 factory farms and slaughterhouses in 15 countries.
We raise awareness and inform millions of people who watch our videos so they can see for themselves what the meat, egg, dairy, and fishing industries do to animals. We campaign to convince companies to update their policies that affect animals and our team of attorneys advocate for increased protections and animal rights.
