Open Rescue

"DxE’s investigations have been among the most important in the history of animal protection."

- Justin Marceau, professor of law
‍

Some of the most important actions in the animal rights movement have been rescues on the frontline of animal abuse. Our open rescues are seen by millions and force the issue of animal rights into the public consciousness. DxE activists are now going to court for rescues at some of the largest factory farms in the world.

You can learn more about these groundbreaking court cases by following the #RightToRescue campaign site.

Abby's Miracle

When Abby was found, she was struggling to walk or reach food and water. Her neck was injured and deformed and she was slowly dying. Abby was held captive at Norbest Turkey Farms in Utah, where they claimed to have "humane" practices, yet thousands of birds were sick with tumors and sores, had their beaks and toes cut off, and were getting torn to pieces from stress-induced cannibalism. Abby, like all the other birds, was set to be someone's Thanksgiving dinner. But Abby was rescued.
