Looking for something truly scary to watch this Halloween?

Forget the ghosts and goblins. We have two genuinely terrifying documentaries... because they're real. Some of the most heartbreaking horrors aren’t fiction.

🎬 Ending Real Fur follows filmmaker Taimoor Choudhry’s journey from an uninformed consumer who wore fur-trimmed clothing to someone determined to understand the truth. Through conversations with animal advocates and changemakers, the film explores the hidden costs of fur and why it’s time for change.

🎬 Dominion uses drones, hidden and handheld cameras to expose the brutal reality of modern animal agriculture, questioning the morality and validity of humankind’s dominion over the animal kingdom. While mainly focusing on animals used for food, it also explores other ways animals are exploited and abused by humans, including clothing, entertainment, and research. Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, Sia, Sadie Sink, and Kat Von D, and co-produced by Earthlings creator Shaun Monson. Filmed in Australia, with a global message.

⚠️ A content note: These documentaries expose animal suffering in animal exploitation industries and may be emotionally difficult to watch. Sometimes the scariest stories are the ones we need to hear. This Halloween, take a moment to learn the truth. Share what you learn. Help make a difference.

World Octopus Day is celebrated annually on October 8 to honor the intelligence, adaptability, and ecological importance of octopuses.

Octopuses are capable of problem-solving, using tools, learning from experience, and camouflaging rapidly to adapt to their environment. Please celebrate these amazing sentient beings by advocating for the end of their exploitation.

🐙 World Octopus Day is October 8!

Stand up for octopuses and keep octopus farming from becoming a reality. We need lasting protections to prevent octopus farming and the expansion of other forms of carnivorous aquaculture.

Nueva Pescanova, a large Spanish seafood company, abandoned its plans to build the world’s first commercial octopus farm in Gran Canaria, Spain due to a successful campaign that demonstrated the strength of public, scientific and political opposition to octopus farming. However, this does not eliminate the risk of similar projects emerging elsewhere.

Tell the European Commission to ban octopus farming and the sale of products from octopi.

Today is World Farmed Animals Day. It's not a day for celebration, but rather, advocacy for the victims of exploitation.

The Animal Rights Coalition has been advocating for farmed animals for decades, back when many believed the industry was simply too big to challenge. We’ve never accepted that. And we won’t stop now.

We're asking you to do something for farmed animals.

🐔 Choose plant-based meals.
🐷 Sign up for a protest or demonstration.
🐮 Educate a friend or family member.
