to learn about our work
We need not accept the idea of routine cruelty in agriculture, entertainment, wildlife management, or any other part of our economy and culture. Together, by reinforcing what business leaders are doing and ready to do, we can create a new normal when it comes to our human relationship with animals.
— Wayne Pacelle, The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals
Our
successes
The Center for a Humane Economy has achieved landmark victories across multiple industries — from pharmaceuticals and agriculture to entertainment and commercial trafficking of animals.
How
we do it
1. Evaluating Issues
Priority issues are determined based on the numbers of animals affected and level of animal suffering.
2. Conducting Campaigns
We research techniques and partnerships to lead campaigns on a number of corporate animal welfare issues.
3. Engaging Corporations
Companies are evaluated on their policies and practices regarding the specific animal welfare issue, and we use our campaigns to convince them to transition from harmful to humane animal practices.
4. Educating Consumers
We target our campaigns to multiple media outlets, alerting consumers to corporate animal welfare issue transgressors as well as innovators and companies leading their field in alternatives to animal use.

End AnImal Testing
Dogs and cats should not suffer in laboratories when better science to protect both people and animals already exists.
Stop Animal Fighting
It's barbaric and entangled with illegal gambling, money laundering, narcotics trafficking, and human-on-human violence.
Prevent horses from being eaten
We want to ban horse slaughter and prohibit the sale or transport of horses and horse parts for human consumption.
End Bear Baiting
We must stop trophy hunters from shooting more than 10,000 bears every year by luring them with bait piles on federal lands.
End the use of confinement crates
We want animals conscripted into food production to be able to move freely.
Save Kangaroos from Slaughter
We want to prohibit the importation and sale of kangaroo leather and close one of the world's biggest markets.
