Dear friend,
When you invest your time and treasure in the work of the Center for a Humane Economy, you demand results. We deliver those results.
At the Center, we work through many channels to improve the lives of animals by influencing corporations to embed animal-protection values into their production practices, supply chains, marketing efforts, and research and development activities. It is the core of what we do.
As I share our Annual Report for 2023, I ask you to look back with me on our work. I want you to see the yield on your investments, in the form of animals’ lives spared and suffering alleviated. You may read and download the report here [[link removed]] . *
KANGAROOS
ARE
NOT
SHOES
.There
were
seismic
effects
in
our
campaign
to
halt
the
use
of
the
skins
of
the
iconic
marsupials
to
make
soccer
cleats.
Nike,
Puma,
and
then
New
Balance
submitted
to
the
demands
of
our
campaign,
pledging
in
2023
to
stop
sourcing
kangaroos
to
make
soccer
cleats.
*
MODERNIZE
TESTING
.
Our
signature
effort,
passed
just
hours
before
we
turned
the
calendar
to
2023,
was
the
FDA
Modernization
Act
2.0
to
change
the
business
model
of
the
pharmaceutical
industry.
That
federal
policy
lifted
a
national
animal-testing
mandate
that
had
been
in
place
for
84
years.
It
was
our
goal
in
2023
to
put
the
newly
signed
law
into
motion.
While
much
work
remains
to
apply
the
national
policy,
and
to
see
that
it’s
felt
throughout
the
global
pharmaceutical
industry,
we
are
in
the
process
of
ushering
in
a
new
era
of
a
safer,
better,
more
humane
paradigm
for
screening
drugs
and
easing
animals
out
of
the
equation.
*
CAGE-FREE
FUTURE
(Part
I)
.The
biggest
news:
the
U.S.
Supreme
Court
upheld
Prop
12
as
a
constitutionally
sound
animal-housing
policy.
It
brings
us
closer
to
the
day
when
we’ll
halt
selling
any
pork,
eggs,
or
veal
from
factory
farms
that
immobilize
the
animals
as
a
routine
animal-housing
strategy.
*
CAGE-FREE
FUTURE
(Part
II)
.
And
it
was
big
news,
too,
when
the
definition
of
the
“organic
seal”
was
expanded
to
include
animal
welfare.
The
Organic
Livestock
and
Poultry
Standards
are
the
first
legal
standards
in
federal
law
to
forbid
extreme
confinement
and
to
impose
a
set
of
other
quality-of-life
standards
for
animals
raised
for
food
on
organic
farms.
*
ANIMAL
FIGHTING,
HORSES,
AND
MORE
.
In
2023,
we
built
major
momentum
in
our
serious-minded
efforts
to
close
out
industries
that
have
been
with
us
for
longer
than
any
of
us
have
lived: *
horse
slaughter
for
human
consumption
*
greyhound
racing
for
gambling
*
and
dogfighting
and
cockfighting
for
the
thrill
of
the
bloodletting.


Through pathbreaking investigations, we’ve been shrinking the size of these enterprises. Our goal in 2024: make them vanishingly small, on the way toward wiping them out altogether.
In all that we do, we want to drive better outcomes for animals through a combination of moral purpose and human innovation. These forces, if we work to propel them, have the potential to cast cruelty aside, leading us into a newly energized economy and a new set of social norms when it comes to our relationship with animals.
Thank you for being on this journey with us—for fueling it, for energizing it, for bringing it to life in the workings of business, politics, and culture.
I hope you’ll make your most meaningful financial and advocacy commitments to the Center for a Humane Economy. Our very purpose is to change the world for animals. To fight for them—all of them, domesticated and wild. To combat systemic exploitation—in the U.S. and abroad. Every day.
For the animals,
