Friend: Imagine being confined to living in a dark, hot, filthy space with no windows or fresh air. Now, imagine your most basic needs ignored. Conditions like these, and worse, are what countless animals in roadside zoos and wild animal petting zoos are facing today. Can we count on your support to fight animal exploitation and cruelty like this?

The evidence is clear: Roadside zoos, circuses and wild animal petting zoos keep putting profits over the welfare of vulnerable animals, showing little to no regard for the animals in their care. We’ve seen this with SeaQuest, a chain of shopping mall-based indoor wild animal petting zoos, that failed to provide proper veterinary care to animals, created a stressful, chaotic environment and even allowed animals to be stomped to death by customers!

And while the Animal Welfare Act exists to ensure animal cruelty like this doesn’t occur at facilities regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s still not enough to hold violators accountable. 

That's why we need your support so we can continue our fight to pass critical animal welfare policies like the Better CARE for Animals Act that will save innocent animals’ lives by strengthening multi-agency collaboration to better enforce the Animal Welfare Act.

Friend, join us in this fight to hold owners of roadside zoos and other government regulated facilities accountable and stop senseless animal cruelty!

We know that the United States can do better in its efforts to end animal cruelty, especially when it comes to exploitative systems like roadside zoos and wild animal petting zoos. That’s why at Humane World Action Fund, formerly Humane Society Legislative Fund, we’re fighting for real policy change to end this suffering, once and for all. 

SeaQuest is just one example, but there are many more facilities similar to it all across the country—and it’s up to us to act and put an end to animal cruelty. Please, friend: Will you make a gift of $20 or more now to help? Your gift today to Humane World Action Fund, the nation’s premier advocacy and political organization for animals, will help us to pass meaningful legislation, like the Better CARE for Animals Act, help to shut down roadside zoos and wild animal petting zoos and save animal lives.
