Why This Work Matters

According to the HSUS, the most frequently reported cases of animal abuse involve dogs, cats, horses, and livestock, followed by wild animals.

Dogs and cats are particularly vulnerable to abuse because of their close bond with humans.

As a result, Animal Victory focuses the majority of its efforts on protecting these animals. Since 2019, Animal Victory has researched and published 380 petitions addressing animal abuse cases involving these and others.
