Since 1951, the Animal Welfare Institute has been dedicated to reducing animal suffering caused by people.

We seek better treatment of animals everywhere - in the laboratory, on the farm, in commerce, at home,
and in the wild.

Spotlight On

Photo of Orca at SeaWorld - by Ron McDonald

SeaWorld has announced it will phase out its captive orca exhibits, here in the US and anywhere it expands abroad. This is an amazing leap forward and it was the collective efforts of an energized public that made it possible. AWI looks forward to engaging in future discussions with SeaWorld to ensure that the company continues to improve its practices and policies surrounding captive cetaceans.
