Friends of Animals

A special thank you from FoA president, Priscilla Feral ✨ We couldn’t do what we do without you! Thank you for your generous support in 2025, please consider giving to FoA as we wrap up the year and prepare to continue our mission in 2026. ❤️ friendsofanimals.org

Following in the footsteps of recent changes to Vogue and NYFW, Hearst (publisher of Harper's Bazaar, Esquire, Town & Country, etc) announced it will cease all promotion of animal fur across its editorial content and advertising. This is a win for wildlife!!

Agreed! NYFW happens twice a year, once in February and once in September...so they likely decided to implement this starting in September to give designers time to rework their collection if necessary. We're excited that it's a step in the right direction though!

December 9th is Colorado Gives Day! Consider supporting FoA's Wildlife Law Program as they fight for animals in Colorado and beyond❤️ www.coloradogives.org/organization...

We're cheering Tyson's shutdown of a NE plant, there aren't enough cows to keep it alive. With slaughter numbers at a 70 yr low, maybe it's not just cows disappearing, but the appetite for them. If this is what a shrinking herd can do, imagine the impact of growing a conscious.

It’s Fur-free Friday—a reminder not to buy into industry’s tricks of the trade. Read more here: friendsofanimals.org/fur-free-fri...

Snuck it into the lineup...not into the package, we were shocked because we did read the label as you suggested. 99% of impossible's products have been vegan, so it was a shock to see a product that wasn't. Don't like it, don't comment on it :)

Starting your holiday shopping? We've got you covered! Check out our 2025 gift guide, made with sustainability and compassion in mind ❤️

Jeers to Impossible Foods, which snuck a non-vegan product into its lineup and onto grocery store shelves across the country, betraying animals and vegans.

The post-halloween pumpkin crisis is real. Skip the dump! Instead:
Scoop out the insides and roast the seeds
Call your local sanctuary and see if they will take the pumpkins to use as food or enrichment
Toss them in a wooded area
Place them in your personal or city compost

Nova, Felix, and Simon are officially thriving after the Wildlife Confiscations Network placed them with Primarily Primates a few months ago ❤️ They were illegally and irresponsibly kept as pets, but are now receiving all the nourishment, enrichment, and care they need!

Repeat after me: primates are not pets!

Hi AJ! Horseshoe crabs sometimes need help flipping back over :) You can do so by gently flipping them by the edge of their shell (not their delicate tail)! I'm not sure about the foam, if you're ever concerned about the wellbeing of an animal please contact a local rescuer or wildlife rehabber :)
