Mission

In a capitalist economy and social order, the workings of business shape the fate of animals on a vast scale, determining how they are raised, traded, tested on, and killed. The Center for a Humane Economy doesn't accept these adverse outcomes, seeking instead to change the economic architecture that governs human dealings with other species and to demonstrate that commerce must come without cruelty.
