I interviewed here a while back with the operations/development assistant, and I could tell immediately that for whatever reason, she did not like me before even getting to know me. The interview was rushed, quick and felt like she couldn’t wait to end the conversation the entire time. I was appalled at how I was spoken to. I tried to ask a couple questions when she offered time for questions and was met with “I don’t know anything about these positions, you can try reading the job description” - then why even bother letting me ask questions? I was then ignored until I took it upon myself to reach out six weeks later, and I'm not even sure if my notes made it to the appropriate department manager. I couldn’t help but feel as though I wasn’t given a fair chance and would encourage people to approach with caution when interviewing.
I have been a volunteer and a supporter of Animal Equality for a couple of years. The work they do for animals is incredible. Their staff is so kind and truly cares about their volunteers and supporters. If you are an animal advocate and are looking for ways to help get involved with the movement, consider supporting/volunteering with Animal Equality.

Animal Equality works tirelessly to save as many animals as possible and to reduce the enormous suffering animals endure on factory farms. I really enjoy volunteering for Animal Equality because my core values are in alignment with the organization wanting extreme animal cruelty to end. My volunteering gives me the opportunity to help spread awareness about these injustices in efforts for individuals to make compassionate food choices by eating plant-based. Animal Equality provides brochures with helpful insight on how to make a positive change for the animals, human health and the planet. Thank you Animal Equality for working so hard to make a more peaceful world. All animals deserve life and love and to be free from harm.

A great non-profit helps those who cannot help themselves. Non-human animals subjected to the atrocities of factory farming cannot - sadly - help themselves. Thankfully Animal Equality does an excellent job doing whatever they can to help. I have volunteered for Animal Equality for nearly two years and in that time I’ve learned so much about factory farming from the educational materials that Animal Equality provides and the investigations that they do. I’ve also had the opportunity to assist in their efforts in whatever small way I can. Their work is excellent and extremely important.
I found the website to be very informative and a helpful introduction into the work of this organization. Additionally. I found the love veg link to be a thought provoking presentation of the various ideas that a person might consider related to the many choices that we make each day related to our diets.
Animal Equality MX is a source of inspiration for all of us that want to fight everyday in the name of the animals, looking for care and respect.
I admire their work in the research they made, and their constant effort to promote laws of animal protection.
Makes me very happy to be a volunteer of this amazing organization.

Animal Equality is an international organization that persuades companies make meaningful changes for animals. Animal Equality works with companies, society and governments to end cruelty to farmed animals. I recommend that everyone who cares about ending animal cruelty volunteer with Animal Equality. As a volunteer I know that my work is appreciated and I have access to valuable resources. Knowing that I help alleviate the suffering of animals makes me proud to be an Animal Protector.
I have been following Animal Equality's work for years and am consistently impressed by their steadfast dedication to fighting for animals in ways that clearly show results. I read their reports and updates, and have gone to in-person events, and am always inspired by their dedication and evidence-based approach. The reduction of animal suffering is an issue in which there is so much room for increased attention and funding, and there are few organizations as impactful as Animal Equality.
Some time ago I met an activist who showed me animal equality and invited me to be part of it and in the short time that I have known this organization I have become incredible proposals they have, the activism they do in addition and the good information they share through Instagram in addition to always notify you through mails new campaigns and proposals
Animal Equality works to end cruelty to farmed animals. The organization collaborates with society, governments, and companies to promote animal rights and wellness. They offer various volunteering opportunities for people who want to help animals. I really appreciate what they do and how they get all the volunteers involved.
Animal Equality is an organization with a high sense of responsibility and professional ethics. They are highly committed to protect life and also improve the animal's quality of life through strong actions. They have accomplished the union of thousands of activists that make presencial actions as well as distant actions from each activist's home. Moreover, they search for population awareness, putting in their reach information based on scientific evidence to have a balanced plant-based diet, and the benefits for human health and the environment. They also expose in their investigations all the injustice and cruelty the animals have to go through for human consumption in the food industry, clothing, and entertainment.
Animal Equality has helped thousands of animals with efficient and precise actions, achieving that numerous industries change some of their policies to allow a more dignified life for animals. They even perceive creating public policies and righteous laws for the animals.
Thanks to Animal Equality, there are tangible results and they're the proof that the union of small groups of conscious people, can accomplish great changes. Thank you Animal Equality! We're every time bigger!
Hi, my name is Johnnie, I'm from Tijuana Mexico, my first experience with them was during a manifestation against bullfighting in my city in 2013, there where the first group organization on animal rights in my city that was very professional and had their goals very defined, i was amazed how very organized they where there in the event, they maintain order within them, they where very united, i notice all of them where vegans, they where very well prepared and studied in the theme of animal rights, that's how i discovered the concept of abolition in regards of animals thru their website info and booklets they shared me, began following them on social media, because i found a lot of useful info that i like to share and network with my fellow contacts, they inspired me to re-educate myself a lot .... at one point i tried to become a voluntary member-activist, but it was to late already for me to join, they dissolved and disbanded in my city, i was so confused about what happened to the people involved, no more of their presence in my local area, so instead continued to get info from them over their social media and began to follow their other websites from other countries too, like USA, UK, SPAIN, GERMANY, FRANCE, ITALY, INDIA, BRASIL, etc.....as i was craving to see what they where doing on other places...so excited i was when i saw they connect with governments, companies and some celebrities ....all these actions i like them, because they spread more the cause of animal awareness in a right and peaceful way .... eventually i met them again in a vegan fest in my city 4 years ago and met one amazing activist and vegan recipe expert, Ms. Katya Ramirez.... she shared me her thoughts on their planning to return their presence in my city, i was so excited, so i continued to express my interest on joining them and learn more form them... and i was told i will be doing activism for them on the next veggie fest in 2020 and possibly represent them!!! ...but the covid pandemic came in with a lockdown, animal equality from all countries closed all presence on any events and i had to wait 3 years until a new veggie fest was made and they where invited, Katya came by with 2 other ladies, obviously as i became aware, i went to met them, found out at the last moment they where invited, so no one from my city was with them...so i offered myself to support them on their activities as i saw them they need it some support, it was an amazing experience knowing them, learning from them and their determination to be there for the animals and spread the awareness for them, truly very inspiring, i tried to mimic their activism as they where my mentors, truly, i learned a lot while i was advocating for the animals. I'm hoping that in the future i participate more with them and also be part of their presence in my city, because ANIMAL EQUALITY just like they left a footprint on me and inspired me, i hope more people get it too and also make a change in favor of all animal causes, like ending animal cruelty, promote more veganism, plant based living and empathy toward all animals in the planet.
am proud to be a part of Animal Equality Mexico, and I highly recommend this organization to anyone who is passionate about animal rights.
I have been blessed to be part of many of the great accomplishments that animal equality has made in Mexico for the animals, including adding the welfare of animals into our constitution, campaigns where we demand from big companies to stop buying eggs from caged hens.
Animal equality has make me evolved into a more effective volunteer for the animals.
We have been to fairs showing and educating people about animal agriculture and how their "food" is made. We use AR to show people how do animals experience been at the slaughter houses.
The people who work at Animal equality mexico are role models and inspiration for us to keep working towards a world where animals are safe from human harm.
Overall I'm thankful to have found animal equality cause at least I know that I'm contributing to end animal exploitation.
I donate to Animal Equality because I know first-hand that their work is making a difference for animals. Thanks to Animal Equality's investigations, new laws are being passed that end animal suffering and ban cruel practices. For example, in Italy, Animal Equality's footage led to a ban on the killing of male chicks within the egg industry—a horrific practice used because male chicks can't produce eggs and aren't the breed used for meat. Seeing the impact that the organization has each year—over 200 animals impacted in 2022 alone—gives me confidence that my gift will be used to make the world a better place for all animals.
I love Animal Equality, the work that AE accomplishes is work that not just anyone can take on. The global investigations of factory farms and slaughterhouses that AE has uncovered and that we have learned so much from are creating a better world for animals. I love working with AE to move the needle forward for the most abused animals on our planet.
To be clear, I worked with Animal Equality at a few VegFests and two of their virtual reality tours, visiting several colleges and universities in the United States sharing with students and staff the valuable footage and data collected by this organization. This non-profit takes their work very seriously and treats their team members with nothing but respect and fairness. Their approach is really one of a kind. They use evidence based tactics to organize and make a difference for animals on a social, economic, and political level! It was a joy to work for them and learn so much from them as a fearless organization for farmed animals everywhere.
I have volunteered with Animal Equality at a couple of events and donated small amounts a few times. I support them because it's clear that they are a passionate organization run by leaders who are fully dedicated to the farmed animal protection movement. I appreciate all that they have done, and continue to do, to protect the animals who suffer the most abuse at the hands of humans.
Since Animal Equality was founded in 2006, they’ve made such a difference for millions of farmed animals by exposing the truth of what really happen on factory farms and in slaughterhouses. Their investigative work is second to none, and because of these reports, they’ve helped to enact new laws that protect animals around the globe. A truly top-notch charity!
I volunteered with Animal Equality for over a year and am grateful to have supported the meaningful mission and work of such an astounding organization. The staff were incredibly hard-working and conscientious—I can't think of a better team of people to work with.
The progress of this organization since its founding is stupendous, and I highly recommend volunteering with them if you're looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of farmed animals!
Animal Equality is marked by its effectiveness and dedication of its members. Its website materials, campaign organization, and ever-growing reputation have enabled it to make contact with some of the biggest food corporations to advocate for ethical food policies.
Their volunteer positions were excellent, and I highly recommend others passionate about ending cruelty to farm animals to join.
I volunteer with The Humane League, which partners with Animal Equality. I fully believe in it, and support it. Not only are their goals noble and forward-thinking, but I briefly participated in an outreach campaign of theirs to ban the sale of foie gras in Portland, and was very impressed by their organization. They're on top of their game.
Industrial animal agriculture is one of the scourges of our time, and with its money and power, it has for too long had a regulation-free playing field, and been able to hide things from the public that shouldn't be hidden, like their horrendous animal abuse and the awful working conditions endured by slaughterhouse workers. Animal Equality helps to shine a light onto these things with its investigations.
And its corporate outreach work helps to turn off the money spigot for operations that practice the worst sort of abuse, like keeping egg-laying hens in small filthy cages throughout their lives.
I urge Great Nonprofits to make them one of their top-rated organizations. In the distant future, it will be remembered as one of the non-profits that played a crucial role in making the world a better place.
Animal Equality creates effective change for animals abused on factory farms. As a volunteer, I helped them on a gestation crate campaign. They communicate exceptionally well with their volunteers and supporters. Animal Equality leads the way in ending cruelty to farmed animals.
I worked as a volunteer with this organization for a month or so on a campaign in Portland. They were incredibly organized, very kind, and great to work with. They are clearly driven by their convictions and care for animals so, so deeply.
The video they post here is just a small sample of what Animal Equality has done, and what it continues to do. It is not just their passion that makes this organization great. It is that combined with their compassion, their ability (literally, in some of their media) to put themselves in the place of the animals and expose what happens at factory farms. The pain and the fear that is present - how can anyone not empathize? They do more than that, they take action to shine a light and end mass slaughter of animals. And they do even more, they seek to change minds - the hardest thing to do. I am humbled by their dedication to such a worthy cause.
Animal Equality is an all-around exceptional organization. Everyone I met was passionate, talented, and hardworking. This organization is efficient and effective at using the most up-to-date means for securing protections for farmed animals. They approach farm animal rights from multiple angles: through policy and legislation, undercover investigations, corporate pressure campaigns, which are all supported through their grassroots outreach-on the ground, with VR technology, and on social media. They are weathering the pandemic and working harder than ever for animals. It was such an educational and inspiring experience to get to volunteer for them.
Animal Equality is the most compassionate, tenacious and devoted group of people I have had the honour to work with. They are unrelenting in their mission of helping farmed animals as well as educating the public about what happens on farms where animals are exploited for their meat. Their work extends to different countries, in different languages, advocating for the voiceless in so many ways- from videos, to petitions, to investigations, to reaching out to lawmakers and educating kids in schools. They go above and beyond to make this planet a more peaceful and just place for ALL Animals. I’m so grateful I get to work with such a passionate organisation.
Animal equality is the most compassionate charity I have ever contributed to. I have evolved as a human being due to the information they have provided and the undercover investigations that they have done. Their recent campaign exposing the cruelty issues concerning chickens associated with McDonalds as well as the exposure to meal kit companies that have no interest in changing their cruel animal practices to reduce the unbearable suffering of the lives of the animals I know will also have many people rethinking their food company choices. I have also gone from years of being a vegetarian to embracing becoming vegan. I feel empathy and a deeper relationship to all living things through their efforts!

I have consistently donated to Animal Equality because I support their mission and believe in the work that they do. The I-animal project is very impactful and truly changes people’s perspective on eating animals. Once you see the suffering through the virtual reality headset you can never undo what you have learned about factory farming. it’s also great that Animal Equality shares these videos with other groups around the world.
I love this group! They advocate for animals in a positive, factual, well researched and educated way. They also are careful with their funds and don't over spend on inflated salaries but still find a way to treat their employees well. Their mission is incredible and their work is so valuable to helping animals. I am so thankful to know about them. Please give and donate what you can.
Animal Equality is doing important work. You don't need to be a vegetarian or vegan to care about cruelty. Heck, your meat, eggs, etc. would likely taste better coming from un-abused animals...
The work Animal Equality does is so important. It really does help open people's eyes to the suffering of innocent animals. I really admire how courageous the investigators are and the work they do. Please keep opening blind eyes to needless cruelty.
I have been a supporter of Animal Equality for many years and am consistently inspired by the work they do. The founders and staff are all incredible people who are passionate about animals, kind-hearted, and dedicated to the cause. They are one of the best organizations out there fighting for the movement and I support them 100%. xxooox

Animal Equality is one of my favourite organizations. Not only are they extremely efficient at reducing animal suffering and making changes for animals all over the world but their employees are some of the smartest, nicest, most passionate humans I have ever met. Their exposes have uncovered a number of astonishing and important discoveries and that have led to extremely important strides towards animal liberation. Thank you to all that you do, AE!!
I have been a monthly donor to Animal Equality for years. Life-long animal lover! Thank you for doing something to stop animal cruelty! Especially for those poor farm animals. We need to speak up for the voiceless. -Barbara T.
Animal Equality has consistently achieved great results for farmed animals worldwide. They are also one of the most efficient farmed animal protection groups, which you can easily see looking at their financials on their website. As a donor, I appreciate the transparency that Animal Equality provides so I know my money is doing the most good for animals.
Animal Equality proves to be a true champion to our furry friends! They make sure that their efforts remain efficient in the pursuit of a world where all animals are cherished and respected.
Animal Equality is a fantastic organization that does incredible work on behalf of animals who cannot stand up or speak for themselves. They inspired me to go vegan after watching their iAnimal video.
Animal Equality is a great organization that helps give a voice to all of the factory farm animals that can't speak for themselves. My experience with them has been nothing but positive.
I first encountered Animal Equality at the Animal Rights Conference in LA in 2018. Everyone at the booth was so kind and knowledgable that I decided to learn more about the work they do. I was so impressed by what they have achieved for animals! They are a truly effective organization doing important work.
The primary factor that drew me to support Animal Equality was they focus on a segment of animal rights that is usually not in the spotlight of other animal rights groups. The fact they primarily deal with protecting farm animals separates them from other non-profits. Though the odds of eliminating animals as a food group are long and a challenging venture, Animal Equality draws attention to the conditions these animals are raised. They have been a leader in advocating changes which include improved living conditions through action and legislation.
Please support this well run organization making a difference.
Our family are appreciative supporters of Animal Equality. I was first introduced to the fine work AE does through their virtual reality video investigations exposing animal cruelty in various processing plants. From changing laws to make animal cruelty a federal crime in Mexico to exposing environmental consequences of pig factories in Spain, Animal Equality is changing lives all over the world. I have excluded meat in my diet for 2 1/2 years now and am healthier and happier for it. Thank you Animal Equality for standing up for animals and introducing plant based alternatives. Pete
This organization is one of the most progressive and effective animal-protection organizations that exist—in both the U.S. and internationally. Their Investigations and Legal Advocacy programs are especially impressive. They produce a high volume of undercover investigations, which are absolutely vital to their other programmatic work. In addition, Animal Equality is on the cutting-edge of animal law advocacy, vigorously litigating and developing strategic litigation and legislative initiatives. Animals in the U.S. (and in the other seven countries in which Animal Equality operates) are so lucky to have this organization advocating on their behalf!
What's more, this organization boasts a high percentage of female leadership, which is rare among animal-protection nonprofits and is indicative of Animal Equality's consistent progressive values. (This is important because female-identifying individuals make up the large majority of the animal-protection movement yet, in the movement as a whole, they occupy only a small percentage of leadership positions. Animal Equality has made great strides towards gender equity.)
They do great work investigating the horrors of the factory farming industry across the world; their work is incredibly important for raising awareness about the practices of the industry and is invaluable for educating people and inciting change.
It was the best to work with them on the campaign against McDonald's at Orlando, Florida. Professional and successful. Really loved to work together and hope I can get another opportunity to to the same ♡
Animal Equality is a very compassionate nonprofit that promotes humane treatment of animals. I will continue to be a donor because I believe in their mission statement.
Animal Equality is truly a great nonprofit. They are an international organization that focuses their efforts on relieving the suffering of farmed animals. They have managed to create an international family of compassionate individuals who are passionate about the cause. Everyone is eager to help each other and celebrate each other's accomplishments, because everyone is working towards the same goal: making the world a better place for all animals. They are continuously recognized by the Animal Charity Evaluators for their effectiveness; They take a multi-pronged approach, using methods based in research. The environment is professional, friendly, appreciative, and it is a pleasure to volunteer with Animal Equality!
They do amazing, compassionate work and the staff are amazing. They are committed to being as effective as possible in advocating for farmed animals.
I love all of the amazing, lifesaving work Animal Equality is doing every single day in the name of billions of animals. From their corporate campaigns to outreach to education to undercover investigations, their work is making a world of difference, day in and day out.
Animal Equality is a trust worthy and dependable nonprofit. Thank you for all that you do for animals. Keep providing a voice for the animals who are silenced.
Animal Equality is a great organization doing undercover investigations and vegan outreach. Employees I have worked with are extremely friendly and helpful I hope to work with them in the future.
I have volunteered for Animal Equality a couple of times at their annual galas and leafleting events have always had a nice time. You can tell they appreciate their volunteers and make sure we have a good time while helping. At the last event we were able to have a 3 course dinner while being able to watch the show by simply trading off with other volunteers so everyone was happy.
I enjoy volunteering for Animal Equality and am proud that they see all social justice issues as interconnected and work together with other groups to make positive changes for animals.
Hi! I have had the good fortune to have volunteered for Animal Equality over the past 2 years. My work has primarily included working on California Proposition 12, participation in hugely successful galas, and dissemination of information about the plight of farm animals. The organization is outstanding in every way. The leadership, staff and other volunteers are knowledgeable, dedicated, friendly, helpful and well organized. I felt that everyone worked together as a team for animal welfare. I encountered a special working atmosphere when hard work, thoughtfulness, professionalism and transparency are the norm. I look forward to being involved with Animal Equality for years to come.
I worked for Animal Equality for a summer a couple years ago doing their iAnimal Tour and have been volunteering with them since then. Animal Equality is a great organization and I love volunteering for them. They don't demand a ton from their volunteers and they are organized and everyone who works for them is so nice and welcoming. They all show they really appreciate you being there and helping out.
Animal Equality's mission is incredibly important. As humans, we need to fight for the lives of beings who cannot fight for themselves, and stand up for what is right and just. Animal Equality is doing just that by exposing the terrible secrets of the meat and dairy industry to the public, promoting change in big companies and individuals alike. Thank you for everything you do, and keep up the great work.
