Anonymous for Animal Rights

Some of Anonymous' Achievements

Our successful campaigns include:

• Stopping the force-feeding of geese and ducks (over 800,000 annually);
• Stopping the water deprivation and isolation of veal calves;
• Banning the dehorning of cows without anaesthetics;
• Stopping vivisection in schools;
• Stopping the cruel butchering of doves in Israel's largest granary;
• Banning the use of animals in circuses;
• Banning foreign circuses where animals are abused from performing in Israel's main cities.

Some of the cruelties against animals which were banned in Israel thanks to Anonymous campaigns: Isolation and water deprivation of calves; vivisection in schools; force feeding of geese; dehorning and tail docking without anaesthetics; training and transporting circus animals. 

We have enlisted tens of thousands to our campaigns:

• We hold regular information tables in Israel's large cities and at special events;
• Each year, around 15,000 people engage in conversations with activists by our information tables and pickets; over 200,000 people annually read our leaflets and brochures;
• Our weekly e-zine has been running regularly for a decade (sent today to 32,000 subscribers); the Anonymous website is the largest and most important collection of information regarding animal rights in Hebrew;
• We've developed a lecture programme for both teenagers and adults across the whole country; in Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva, the local authorities sponsor our lectures, which about 20,000 people attend annually in schools, youth organizations etc.

We introduced change within the Israeli establishment:

• Our fact-finding team uncovers information which then forms the basis of legal action, legislation and media exposés;
• We are responsible for animal rights issues being aired in the mass media several times a week;
• We have promoted regulations and laws for protecting animals and were engaged in legal battles against abusers and the Ministry of Agriculture, thus creating important precedents for the future;

There are many animal welfare organizations in Israel, most of which excell in their respective areas of concern. Our main concern is different: The public campaign against factory farming, which causes suffering and death to hundreds of millions of animals in Israel each year.
