Recent Progress (2026)
From March through June 2026, Humane World for Animals pursued a sweeping agenda of direct rescue, legislative wins, and systemic policy change across six continents. The period opened with the permanent closure of a dog meat slaughterhouse in Indonesia and a historic felony animal cruelty plea agreement in Wyoming, then accelerated through April with Maryland's Animal Research Modernization Act signed into law and Colorado becoming the 9th U.S. state to ban pet store puppy sales. May brought disaster response to over 1,100 animals in Saipan after Super Typhoon Sinlaku, 34 dogs rescued from a dogfighting operation in South Carolina, and a 700,000-signature petition delivered to Indonesian embassies. June closed the period with a Yulin slaughterhouse rescue and permanent closure, Iceland's fur farm count falling to just one following the organization's March investigation, and corporate partners completing 100% cage-free egg transitions across Latin America.
