🚨 The 10-day Chicago Convergence is in less than two weeks and we have not yet met our $5,000 match! 🦝

All donations will be doubled by Dr. Mevan Happawana until we reach our $5,000 goal. Even a donation of $5 goes a long way.

These events help win campaigns, give activists a chance to network and learn, and so much more.

Please share!

SOLIDARITY!

Today, Chicagoland community members rallied at the Historic Chicago Water Tower for an outreach event. Chicagoans urged their neighbors to support our call to investigate MBR, end the breeding of dogs for experimentation, and funnel more funding into non-animal research methods.

1,500 beagles were recently released from Ridglan Farms following activist pressure and an attempted rescue! But the fight is not over yet. 500 beagles are still trapped at Ridglan and thousands more are exploited in research facilities elsewhere throughout the US, along with millions of other animals. One of those places is Marshall BioResources (MBR). At MBR, animals live their lives in cages to be used over and over again in painful, distressing “learned helplessness” experiments. Just like the Ridglan dogs, they deserve a home, safety, and freedom.

Another country is close to ban foie gras!

05/14/2026

Chicago animal advocates call for an end to foie gras sales at locally-owned Galit Restaurant! Foie gras involves the force-feeding of innocent animals - so inherently cruel; it has been banned in several countries, voted to be banned in CA and NYC, and banned in over 100 restaurants in recent years.

It's not sustainable, it's not humane - it's cruel! Align yourself with your own sustainability standards - end foie gras sales for good!

🦊 No more fur farms in Missouri!

A new report published by shows what was the last remaining fur farm in Missouri emptied.

From :

“Another Fur Farm Closed (Missouri, USA)

The Mid-Missouri Fox Farm was the only fur farm in the state of Missouri, and the southernmost farm on the list.

The property has been sold, and it looks like the new owners are not continuing in the fur business. Although a few sheds remain, the rows of fox cages have been removed.”
