Our Hounds of the Underground campaign shows greyhounds as you've never seen them before, shining a light on the characters behind a cruel and outdated racing industry.
Our campaigns
We campaign against all forms of animal abuse, including so-called entertainment like racing horses and greyhounds; the farming of animals; the use of animals in science experiments; and the persecution of wildlife with snares and shooting.
Current campaigns
Launched in 2025 by Animal Aid patron, Chris Packham, Killing our Countryside calls for a total ban on the production and ‘sport’ shooting of live birds for fun and entertainment.
Our biggest campaign to date has so far reached tens of millions of people across the UK with a simple message: the terror on our tables is far from the story we’re fed.
We've spent over twenty years exposing the reality of this heavily romanticised ‘sport’, successfully changing both public perception and media coverage.
Our anti-snares campaign is based upon irrefutable evidence that snares are cruel and indiscriminate, causing unimaginable harm and suffering, and the widespread support of the public, policymakers, animal protection groups and conservationists.
Science shouldn’t involve sacrifice, either to the quality of work or the lives of animals. Better science is possible, and we’re immensely proud to be working with XCellR8 to make it a reality.

We campaign for reindeers to be roaming free in the Arctic tundra – not stuck in shopping centres or forced to parade down busy concrete streets.
Past campaigns
For nearly twenty years, we filmed inside British slaughterhouses and found unimaginable suffering in all of them. What we documented showed that ‘humane slaughter’ is a sham.
Some of the biggest names in the charity sector are conducting or funding experiments on animals - experiments that are cruel and unreliable.
We campaign for an end to grouse shooting: a bloodsport carried out by a minority. As well as the grouse who suffer and die, grouse moor managers brutally kill and maim huge numbers of wild animals to protect their profits.
A Good Life? campaign challenges the myth that farming and eating animals is acceptable as long as they've lived "a good life".
Mice are often forgotten in the campaign against experiments on animals. Our Mice Matter campaign seeks to change that.
In 2020, 54% of experiments on animals were conducted at universities and medical schools. Our Universities Challenged campaigns hold these institutions to account.
