Hi FAST folks!

My name is Lisa, and I'm the new(ish) Managing Director at We Animals. You may know us for Jo-Anne McArthur’s award-winning animal photojournalism or for our stock platform of more than 30,000 visuals available for free to anyone helping animals. You may not know that we’re also available to conduct investigations with or for other organizations!

Do you need strong visuals or photographic evidence to make your campaigns more compelling, but don't have the resources or infrastructure to do this well? That’s where we can help! 

Compelling Visual Storytelling: Our team of experienced animal photojournalists specializes in capturing the reality of animals' lives. We create high-quality, impactful photos and video clips to support your campaigns and advocacy work.

Global Reach: Our founder Jo-Anne has been documenting animal stories since 2003 and over the last several years We Animals has built and mentored a global network of more than 120 extremely talented photojournalists to help us conduct investigations on any continent. 

Our Assignment Services:

  1. Collaborations: We collaborate with NGOs and other advocacy groups on initiatives and campaigns that fall within We Animals’ areas of focus. You provide the local ground support, We Animals provides the photojournalists, and we share the costs and the content. Together, we increase the impact by releasing a campaign in tandem.
     
  2. Service Assignments: Our service assignments are project-based engagements designed to meet the needs of NGOs working on issues that either fall outside of our areas of focus, or where you prefer to have exclusive use of the content. This could include documenting evidence for a legal case, creating promotional materials for your organization or brand (yes, we do commercial work too!) or creating materials for your exclusive campaign. In this case, we produce the visuals, you cover the costs and we embargo the content until you’re ready to share.

Areas of Focus

At this time, we are especially interested in collaborating on projects focused on chickens, fish or crustaceans, and farmed animals in Asia and Latin America. (Don't let that stop you from reaching out with any inquiry about another topic!)

Chat With Us

If you're interested in working with We Animals, let me know! Reply to this email with a brief description of your project and I’ll be in touch shortly. 

OR, to get the ball rolling even faster, tell us more about your campaign, your needs and your timeline by filling out this 2-minute form, and we’ll be in touch to let you know how we can help.


Yours,

Lisa

In early 2025, Animal Outlook released an investigation into live animal markets in San Francisco, documenting widespread animal cruelty that appears to violate California laws. This includes: Frogs being beheaded without prior stunning; A turtle struck with a mallet, their legs moving in response to being cut apart; Fish being bludgeoned multiple times and butchered; Animals kept in cramped conditions likely to cause injury; Live frogs and fish being placed in plastic bags; Crabs confined in a cardboard box; A turtle unsuccessfully attempting to escape; Live fish falling onto the street during unloading from a truck. Animal Outlook is urging the San Francisco Department of Animal Care and Control (SFACC) to take action against this abuse and hold those responsible accountable. Specifically, we believe the recordings prove violations of several California laws, including (1) California’s general cruelty law, California Penal Code § 597; and (2) California’s live market law, California Penal Code § 597.3. Animal Outlook has been working with SFACC since it first investigated the city's live animal markets in 2022 to try to bring enforcement against these blatant animal cruelty violations. But despite pervasive animal suffering in live markets, so far, SFACC has issued just one citation for animal cruelty. For more information visit https://animaloutlook.org/investigations/

Great news to start off the new year! Colorado and Michigan’s laws banning the production and sale of eggs from caged hens went into effect on January 1, 2025. The implementation of these laws represents a historic moment in our movement’s work to end the cage confinement of farm animals. We estimate that these two laws will provide legal protections for almost *15 million birds every year* going forward.  Victories like this build on all of the hard work—both legislative and corporate—that various groups are doing. So, congratulations to everyone pushing to get hens out of cages!  Kate Brindle Program Manager, Public and Corporate Policy, Farm Animal Protection, Humane Society of the United States Pronouns: she/her/hers kbrindle@humanesociety.org C 202-834-0913     humanesociety.org

Animal Partisan has filed an administrative complaint against Shepherd's Touch, a Pennsylvania halal slaughterhouse, with both the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). The complaint stems from an undercover investigation conducted at the slaughterhouse and alleges violations of numerous federal laws intended to protect animals, consumers, and workers. Animal Partisan’s complaint asks the USDA to terminate the slaughterhouse’s status as a “custom exempt” establishment, something of a regulatory loophole which allows certain facilities to operate without regular federal inspection. The complaint also asks the USDA to investigate the slaughterhouse’s sanitation and recordkeeping practices, and requests that OSHA investigate possible workplace safety infractions.  The investigation documented video of workers and customers cutting the throats of animals in a manner that may violate the “ritual slaughter” exemption in the federal Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. The investigation also identified concerns with the facility's sanitation practices as regulated under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, including blood, feces, and trash (including bottles and latex gloves) on or near the killing floor, as well as a dumpster overflowing with trash. Finally, the investigation disturbingly documented several children allowed to roam freely around the slaughtering floor. Children under the age of 18 walked or stood in close proximity to animals flailing violently as they were positioned for slaughter, sharp knives, and floors slicked with the blood of animals recently butchered. The complaint asks OSHA to investigate whether these practices violate federal workplace safety laws.  More details and video can be found at the link HERE.
