Addressing the root causes
Your generosity not only helps animals during this crisis but also fuels our ongoing campaign to end factory farming a leading driver of climate change and animal suffering. Factory farming contributes significantly to extreme weather events like wildfires, and we remain committed to protecting wildlife by advocating for a more sustainable future.
