our mission

Animals can’t speak out to tell the world of their suffering. But you can.

With our voice and our actions, we can evolve into a peaceful, compassionate and flourishing world – for every species.

LFT enables everyone to take simple actions to help animals, making a difference with a single click. Our petitions have collectively gained tens of millions of signatures, directly saving animals’ lives and putting horrific cruelty cases right in front of the eyes of government officials, industry leaders and other decision makers.

We believe that no animal should suffer at human hands, whether for food, clothing, entertainment or experimentation.

That’s why our team not only works to change the laws and policies that allow suffering, but also provides direct aid to animals in desperate situations — such as those rescued from the cruel dog and cat meat trade, the harsh streets, and the farming industry.

LFT’s undercover investigations and petitions have made global headlines in Newsweek, The Guardian, Mashable and more, and recently achieved a historic win: the highest-ever animal cruelty sentence in the nation of Chile.
