Our mission is to reform animal protection and reduce suffering in the farming industry by leveraging legal and policy tools to enforce accountability and drive systemic change. Through targeted legal reforms, business compliance, and ethical industry practices, we work toward a global framework that upholds the rights of all animals to a dignified life. By advocating for impactful legislation and empowering the farming industry to align with ethical standards, we seek to transition towards a future where animals are respected, protected, and no longer exploited for human consumption.

We hold factory farms accountable by using legal action, regulatory enforcement, and industry reform to protect farmed animals.
We’re exposing companies that break animal welfare laws, pushing for penalties, and working with farms to compliance and transition to ethical practices.
Our approach combines:
✔ Legal enforcement – Holding factory farms accountable.
✔ Industry engagement – Supporting farms to improve welfare.
✔ Consumer awareness. -
Our holistic approach uses legal action to force compliance; advocates for fines, closures, and legal accountability; and targets entire industries for systemic change.
In this way, we act in response to current cruelty by calling for drastic measures against offending companies, we anticipate by pushing for reforms in regulations and protocols, and we work continuously by reaching out to companies to help them sustain change over time and transform their businesses.
It’s not a campaign— is an enforcement and transformation movement.
