Profile Awaiting ClaimAdvancing Law for Animals
📍 Los Angeles, California, USA

Issue & AwarenessFree Minnie
📍 Goshen, Connecticut, USA
Minnie, a wild-born Asian elephant in her late 40s, has lived alone at a travelling-zoo property since her two companions died in 2019, kept mostly in a barn on concrete. The Nonhuman Rights Project has fought in Connecticut courts for her release to an accredited sanctuary. Elephants need space, grass and each other.

For Wang Wang
A stray mother dog and her three two-week-old puppies, killed in Jieyang, Guangdong on 28 June 2026. No charges followed. China has no national anti-cruelty statute covering companion animals, so what happened to her broke no law that anyone could charge — and that gap is what advocacy is for.
