When Sonja Meadows founded Animals' Angels, Inc. in 2007, she was the only investigator. Being a one-woman show, the organization was only able to operate in a localized area with a very restricted number of annual investigations. Her determination and tenacity, combined with the dedication of faithful supporters, enabled the organization to grow in leaps and bounds. In just six short years, we have become an international charity conducting close to 200 investigations a year throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Recognition for objective, reliable documentation, has allowed us to increase the pressure on the enforcement efforts used to protect factory farm animals. We have gained the respect of Government agencies, as well as local and national law enforcement. This approach has granted us working relationships with those who have direct impact on changing, and implementing animal humane laws. We have seen the fruits of our labor pay off in droves as we fight against horse slaughter. Our fact-based evidence has been used to initiate criminal proceedings that have concluded with convictions. We have conducted groundbreaking training classes designed specifically for members of law enforcement, and we have seen those same members' organizations stopping transport trucks. Our intensely focused EU Campaign has horsemeat consuming/importing countries pulling meat off of supermarket shelves; thereby reducing a portion of the demand.

"This organization wouldn't exist, let alone grow, if not for our devoted supporters. 2013 has by far, been our most successful year to date," says Meadows. Looking onward and upward, Animals' Angels is incredibly excited to announce the release of our new user-friendly website, logo, and motto. We feel that our new logo and motto are more powerful, and define our mission more clearly. We welcome your thoughts on our new accomplishments, as you will be directly involved in our future successes.
