CompassionWorks International Act for All Animals. And, like you, we envision a day when all animals are free to live their lives free from unnecessary harm and suffering. Who are we?

At CompassionWorks International, we believe....

...in kindness, respect, unity, dialogue, community, commitment, strategic action, one world for all beings, neighbors talking to neighbors, and friends sharing with friends. But change for animals will not happen unassisted. The animals enslaved by the entertainment industry, used for medical testing, and slaughtered for their fur, skins, and flesh need our collective voice. They are counting on us to speak loudly, clearly, and effectively on their behalf--to let the world know that they are sentient beings with families, feelings, and a right to freedom. At CWI, we provide the assistance needed to bring hope to animals. We believe that by implementing professional, strategic actions within our communities, every one of us can be a beacon of light that spreads awareness about the pain and suffering that occurs inside the tanks, under the big tops, within the racetracks, and behind the shuttered doors of factory farms and medical testing facilities. We are you. And our goal is to help you do your good work better. If you are ready to be a voice for animals, join us!

Okha is one of the few remaining elephants still stuck doing ridiculous circus performances and giving rides. She is ELDERLY and needs retirement NOW. Speak out!

Meet Bubbles, Lady Essex, Minnie, and Okha—four elephants kept without elephant companionship—and urge the USDA to send them to sanctuary.

We are so proud of CWI's long-time board member Julie Cappiello, executive director of Voters For Animal Rights. This is a major accomplishment and a huge step forward for NYC!

Horse-drawn carriages could disappear from New York City after years of controversy over animal welfare, safety and tradition.

IMPORTANT: 1. The man is reported to be AUTISTIC. Mean spirited posts will be deleted and you risk being banned from our page. 2. The tiger will not be euthanized. 3. THESE PLACES SHOULD NOT EXIST. They are not safe for people or for animals. Animals are not entertainment.

While they may look fun and festive, please do not use the artificial spiderweb decorations outdoors 🕸️

These fake cobwebs, made of mixes of polyester, stretchy PVC, and cotton, too often entrap birds, bats, small mammals, insects, and other little wildlife friends. The synthetic mix of fiber is somewhat sticky and may be difficult for animals to wriggle out of, leading to loss of life or detrimental constriction around limbs and wings.

Save these type of decorations for indoor use only or skip them altogether! 🎃 Decorate responsibly! 🦉

This now marks FIVE beluga whale deaths at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium in the last 6 weeks. Four of them were individuals removed from the horrendous now-permanently shuttered Marineland Ontario, Canada’s last remaining dolphinarium.

Caspian, who died yesterday, was captured from the wild as a young calf in 2003. Captivity kills.

A fourth beluga whale rescued from the shuttered Marineland theme park in Canada and brought to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago this summer has died.

This , we’ve joined 144 NGOs calling on the EU to stop the expansion of octopus farming.

Together, we’ve signed a joint letter to European Commissioner Costas Kadis, urging the EU to take preventative action before this industry becomes established.

Octopuses are intelligent, curious and naturally solitary wild animals. Yet seafood companies are racing to farm them in crowded, barren tanks on land – all for the sake of private profit.

This is the LAST WEEKEND to speak up for elephants being used for rides and circus tricks at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, where trainers wield sharp metal-tipped bullhooks. The elephants will be trucked off to their next circus site.
