How you championed animal welfare across the world in October

Let’s dive into what you made happen this October: 

🐻 You moved two more Chinese companies to join our Wildlife Friendly Medicine Alliance 

Green Medical Center and Hanfang Modern Pharmaceutical Ltd announced they are joining our Wildlife Friendly Medicine Alliance. The two companies have committed to not invest, research, produce and sell products containing wild animal ingredients.  

🦎 50,000 of you demanded the most influential pet store brands in Canada to stop cruelty 

We handed over 50,000 petition signatures to PetSmart demanding an end to selling reptiles and amphibians in their stores We are keeping the pressure on by urging our supporters to send an e-letter to the President of PetSmart Canada, demanding an end to reptile and amphibian sales.  

🐒 You called out G20 leaders commit to a global wildlife trade ban 

Thanks to your support, we have teamed up with internationally acclaimed filmmaker, Aaron Gekoski, to launch the short film, ‘Horrors of the Wildlife Trade’. The film demands G20 leaders commit to a global wildlife trade ban.  

🐷 You urged public development banks to halt financing industrial livestock production
