Riding an elephant may seem like a memorable tourist activity, but for the elephants involved, it means a lifetime of fear, exhausting work, abuse and separation from their families in the wild. Pledge to never ride an elephant or support an exploitative elephant tourism attraction today: hwfa.link/x110626

Big win for animals! Washington, D.C. voters have said NO to the cruelty of foie gras. This is a huge step forward for ducks and geese and another powerful reminder that cruelty has no place on our plates. A huge congratulations to the dedicated advocates who worked to make this possible!

Supporters claim trophy hunting helps communities and wildlife by putting money in local people’s hands and culling weak or old animals. But in reality, very little money — as little as 3% of trophy hunting revenue — reaches the areas where hunting happens, and trophy hunters often seek the biggest, strongest animals to kill.
