"This organization is necessary for the protection of animals held in shelters throughout the United States and we will continue to seek out any and all legal and viable methods available to us for the purpose of demanding accountability on the part of each state and municipality until animals are no longer subjected to cruelty and abuse at the hands of those paid to protect them."

Our Focus

We are fighting to end animal cruelty.

We are working to pass laws that will assure animals doomed in shelters will be euthanized in a humane manner. We offer a place to report shelter violations and find out what shelters are violating animal cruelty laws.

Dedicated to improving shelters in America, we provide database of shelter violations, animal cruelty cases and proper documentation of neglect in our shelters.

Our Stated Goal:

A. To start a national coalition for shelter reform.

B. To appoint members in every state that will properly report abuses to governmental offices including the State Department of Agriculture, and media outlets, concerning these violations.

C. To educate and inform the public concerning these atrocities.

D. To end shootings, heartsticks, gassings and drownings in Americas shelters.

E. To work to ensure that animal cruelty that falls under the criteria of 'felony' will be tried as a felony. Shelter workers committing animal cruelty must be held accountable for animal cruelty.

F. To demand local shelters properly check for rigor mortis and heart beat to insure death has actually occurred following the administration of established protocol for euthanasia  before these bodies are cremated, frozen or other methods of disposal utilized.

G. To effectively end all cruel, inhumane, outdated methods of killing shelter animals.

H. To pass laws in each state to prohibit shelters from selling shelter animals to laboratories and to further prohibit other methods of Pound Seizures. The word 'shelter' should not be legally utilized to describe houses of brutality and warehouses for animals to be sold into research. Shelters should be just that, a shelter and safe haven for homeless animals. Other facilities should be aptly named to prevent citizens from unknowingly placing animals in harms way.

I.  To stop shelters from profiting on rendered animals and pound seizures.



"Animal Control facilities that operate as killing machines need to be abolished."
