End Animal Cruelty

Accepting that animals are selves or persons will have many implications, the clearest of which is to recognize a range of universal negative rights—the right not to be tortured, experimented on, owned, enslaved, imprisoned, or killed.

Who We Are

End Animal Cruelty is a 501c(4) non-profit that engages in education and advocacy in support of ballot initiatives and other legislative activities aimed at extending animal cruelty protections to all animals, including farmed animals, wild animals, and those exploited for research and recreation, who are currently exempt from state and federal cruelty laws.We believe that radical changes require radical initiatives, and that the most effective activism is also the most authentic activism. That is why our focus is on campaigns that advocate for the abolition of, rather than the regulation of, violence against animals.We're fighting for the world we want, not just the world others think is possible. A world where animals are legally protected from violence. In the words of Angela Davis, "you have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time."
