Millions of donkeys are brutally killed each year to meet the growing demand for ejiao, a gelatin made from donkey hides used in some traditional medicines and cosmetics. Donkeys are often stolen from families in impoverished communities who rely on them to make a living. If they survive inhumane transportation to slaughter, the donkeys are violently killed in underregulated and unsanitary cond...

In this clip from May 7, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) speaks on the floor of the House of Representatives about the pride he feels about his involvement with the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus, including serving as CAPC co-chair, during his 28-year tenure in the House.

In the US dairy industry, young calves are often transported soon after birth. A portion of the female calves (referred to as “replacement heifers”) are often reared off site by specialized operations until they are ready to give birth and produce milk. The remainder, as well as the males are “surplus” and usually slated to become veal or “dairy beef.” AWI research has revealed that, in service...

Hawaiian honeycreepers, a genus of small, brightly colored birds found only in Hawai‘i, are at serious risk of extinction. At least 57 species of honeycreepers once inhabited the archipelago. Only 17 species remain, 11 of which are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The greatest threat to the honeycreepers’ survival is avian malaria-a disease transmitted by non...

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), for highlighting the alarming risk of mink fur farms worsening the current pandemic and ushering in the next one.

Congressman Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) introduced the Mink VIRUS Act (H.R. 3783) to prot...

Hip, hip, hooray-we’re celebrating 50 years of the MMPA! On October 21, 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act was signed into law after years of advocacy from scientists, activists, the public, and legislators from both parties. The MMPA was the first federal law to establish protections for marine mammals-and over the years, it has improved the status of many populations that had reached dang...

From the deep sea to outer space (yes, really!), the songs of humpback whales have traveled far and wide. But less than 70 years ago, humpback whale populations were near extinction due to commercial whaling. In 1970, bioacoustician Roger Payne recorded humpback whale songs and published them in the form of the album “Songs of the Humpback Whale.” For many Americans, this was their first time h...

The classic “arf, arf” of the California sea lion is unmistakable-and the sight of them hauled out on the beaches up and down the West Coast is unforgettable. But less than a hundred years ago, these marine mammals were at serious risk of extinction, hunted mercilessly for pet food and as pests. In 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act was enacted, turning the tide of this species’ future. Wat...

“It was one of the deadliest, most vicious shark attacks ever…” #SharkWeek always makes a splash. But humans are a much more deadly predator, killing approximately 73 million sharks each year, often through a gruesome practice known as shark finning, in which a live shark's fins are sliced off on board vessels at sea and the mutilated animal tossed overboard to die. This PSA, created by @unitep...

Despite an unsuccessful testing season in 2021, the Norwegian government again approved an experiment involving the dangerous capture and invasive handling of minke whales for auditory evoked potential (AEP) hearing tests. The permit allows researchers, funded in large part by the US government, to trap wild juvenile minke whales and place electrodes on their heads to attempt to determine how t...
