Petitions:
Stop Prematurely Killing Cats and Dogs With Tainted Pet Food
Pet obesity has become a national epidemic which causes severe health complications in dogs and cats. Weakly regulated pet food manufacturing and labeling is partially to blame. Demand tighter regulations to supply pets with only the best, healthiest foods.
Demand Answers From System That Allegedly Let Accused Animal Abuser Go Free

Don’t Abandon Teacher Imprisoned in Russia
An American detained in Russia for marijuana possession has been sentenced to 14 years in prison. The government has reportedly done nothing to help secure his release. Advocate on behalf of this left-behind teacher.
Don’t Make Humane Shelters for Animals Illegal
Homeless animals are in danger of being turned out into the streets where they will suffer starvation and abuse. Stop a misguided effort that would prevent rescuers from giving abandoned pets shelter.
Stop Imprisoning Depressed Whales

In captive settings, these highly social, cognitively complex mammals show extreme signs of depression, as they are deprived of their natural inclinations and are forced to live out their days isolated in tiny cages. Demand an end to the imprisonment of whales.
