Welcome to the
Animal Rights Coalition

The Animal Rights Coalition works to end the suffering, abuse, and exploitation of non-human animals through information, education, and advocacy. We believe that animals matter for their own reasons and that they should not be used by human beings for profit, pleasure, amusement, or simply because it is our habit to do so.

Our Mission and
Core Values

Our Programs and Campaigns

Our unique and innovative programs and campaigns provide extensive opportunities for people to learn about animal rights, and get involved to help animals.

How We’re
Successful

The Animal Rights Coalition is the oldest and most successful animal rights organization in Minnesota, with over three decades of helping animals.
