Across the country, entire communities ban or restrict dogs because of their breed or perceived breed. The HSUS opposes such public policies as inhumane and ineffective. There is no evidence that breed-specific laws reduce dog bites or attacks on people and they divert resources from more effective animal control and public safety initiatives.

Breed-based policies are based on myths and misinformation, rather than science or credible data. Their impact on dogs, families and animal shelters, however, is heartbreakingly real.

Learn the truth about breed bans and help your community become a place where dogs aren’t judged by their looks, but by their behavior.

The exploitation and abuse of big cats as props for paid public interactions at roadside attractions will soon be a thing of the past. The Big Cat Public Safety Act, something we’ve been working on for over a decade, just became law. It’s the beginning of the end of the cringeworthy era in which breeding big cats for cub petting (a la Tiger King) was all too common.

The international wildlife trade jeopardizes the survival and welfare of billions of animals every year, including threatened and endangered species. These animals are often killed simply to be made into and sold as a decoration, piece of jewelry or a symbol of wealth, or they suffer horribly only to end up in a life of captivity. Today’s guests work to end this illicit market, which is worth billions of dollars each year.
