History is walking the runway.

This New York Fashion Week, not a single animal had to suffer for fur on the runway. As the first fully fur-free NYFW comes to life, we’re celebrating the designers, advocates and supporters who helped make compassionate fashion the new standard.

The future of fashion is innovative, beautiful and cruelty-free!

The Trump administration struck a harsh blow to wolves late last week. In an executive order, Trump tasks Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to determine within 90 days whether two species of wolves who inhabit the United States—gray wolves and Mexican wolves— meet the criteria for removing their Endangered Species Act protections.

When disaster strikes, animals need help too. 🩵

Following the devastating earthquake in Colombia, and our assessment team’s report, we are supporting a local veterinarian’s efforts to deliver free care for affected animals and an NGO that is distributing pet food to communities in the municipality of Quimbaya in the Quindío region.

Together, we’re helping local responders provide animals with the care they need.

Dolphins belong in the ocean, not in captivity or subjected to brutal hunts. Yet, each year, dolphins are driven into a secluded cove in Taiji, Japan and either selected for captivity or killed.

We condemn the cruelty of the Taiji dolphin drive hunt and urge an end to practices that inflict needless suffering on marine life.

Each year across the globe, tens of millions of sharks are hunted down, only to have their fins sliced off and their bodies thrown back into the ocean, often left to die an agonizing death.

You can help save them by pledging to protect them today: https://hwfa.link/fb090226
