What we investigate

Investigating organised animal crime since 2021

Founded in 2021, we investigate organised animal cruelty and help bring those responsible to justice.

Animal Fighting

Animal fighting, including dog fighting, cockfighting, and badger baiting have been outlawed for many years.

Despite our best efforts, it still carries on. Our team investigates dog fighting networks to identify participants and bring those responsible to justice.

Wildlife Crime

Crimes against badgers, foxes, and other wildlife have been increasing in recent years.

There is a growing problem and our team is increasingly investigating badger persecution, badger baiting, fox hunting, and bird trapping.

Illegal Puppy Farming

The organised, large-scale illegal puppy farming trade is flourishing.

Our team has years of experience in investigating the illegal puppy trade with a high conviction rate.

How We Do It

We investigate organised animal cruelty, prosecute animal abusers, and rescue animals.

1 | We investigate

We investigate organised animal cruelty including puppy farming, animal fighting, and wildlife crime.

We gather information from the public, partner organisations, and online sources.

This information is carefully analysed and transformed into actionable intelligence, which we use to disrupt criminal activities, rescue animals, and bring animal abusers to justice.

2 | We campaign for justice

We seek justice for every animal that has suffered.

We tirelessly push for justice, ensuring that animal abusers face real consequences.

Through public petitions, legal advocacy, and relentless campaigning, we fight to strengthen animal welfare laws and enforce penalties that deter future cruelty.

3 | We rescue

We give abused animals a second chance.

When our investigations reveal animals in immediate danger, we coordinate with the police and other organisations to carry out rescue operations.

But the journey doesn’t end there. Every rescued animal receives the care and love they need to recover, from medical treatment to rehabilitation and eventually finding a forever home.
