Animal Outlook

Investigation: the organization's investigators go undercover inside factory farms and slaughter plants to document the conditions inside these facilities. This regularly includes severe Animal cruelty, some of which is considered standard practices within Animal agribusiness. As a result of its investigations, the organization has garnered favorable attention in major media outlets as well as local newspapers, television news programs, and others. The organization has completed more than 30 investigations inside the meat, egg, and dairy industries.

Legal advocacy: the organization's legal advocacy program was created to proactively challenge the systemic harms of Animal agribusiness through litigation, criminal enforcement, and other legal advocacy. The program has repeatedly secured criminal enforcement and civil accountability for the mistreatment of animals, documented in the organization's undercover investigations, including the first-ever conviction for a standard industry practice. The program also conducts strategic litigation, such as uncovering and developing the initial case theory for what ultimately became a class action against most of the dairy industry for price-fixing through a cow-killing scheme, resulting in a $52m award to consumers in 2016, and in 2019, a settlement and consent decree in federal false claims act litigation alleging mistreatment of animals at a lamb slaughterhouse. During 2022, $246,409 of donated legal services were provided to support Animal Outlook in various legal cases related to mistreatment of animals.

Vegan outreach: the organization promotes vegan eating among the mainstream american public through various outreach activities both in local communities as well as nationally through advocacy online.

Corporate engagement and food system reform: the corporate engagement and food system reform program works to challenge the status quo of the Animal agribusiness by revolutionizing food systems through both working to change corporate practices and mobilizing supporters to encourage an increase in vegan offerings and displacement of animal-based offerings in supply chains and menus, as well as providing farmers with comprehensive support to transform their Animal agribusiness to a successful, future-forward plant-focused agribusiness.
