| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | ANIMALS IN THE WILD: MAKING TRAVEL MORE ANIMAL-FRIENDLY. AFTER TWO YEARS OF GLOBAL CAMPAIGNING, WE MOVED EXPEDIA GROUP TO SET A PUBLIC POLICY THAT PROHIBITS SELLING TICKETS OR PACKAGES THAT INCLUDE ACCESS TO CAPTIVE CETACEAN (DOLPHINS AND WHALES) PERFORMANCES OR INTERACTIONS ON ITS SITES. EXPEDIA JOINED SEVERAL OTHER TRAVEL STAKEHOLDERS THAT ACKNOWLEDGE THE INHERENT CRUELTY IN FORCING CETACEANS TO PERFORM FOR OR INTERACT WITH TOURISTS. WE ALSO CONVINCED HAWAIIAN AIRLINES TO REMOVE ITS PROMOTIONS FOR CAPTIVE DOLPHIN VENUES FROM ITS WEBSITE. DISRUPTING THE SALE OF REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS: IN JUNE 2021 OUR SHELLING OUT REPORT HIGHLIGHTED FINDINGS OF OUR YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION INTO SEVERAL REPTILE EXPOS AT WHICH TURTLES BELOW THE LEGAL-SIZE LIMIT ALLOWED BY THE US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION WERE BEING EXHIBITED AND SOLD. WE ALSO BROUGHT THESE ILLEGAL SALES OF TINY TURTLES TO THE FDA'S ATTENTION AND THE AGENCY SIGNALED THAT IT WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH THE THREE MOST PROMINENT REPTILE EXPOS: HERPS, REPTICON, AND COLD BLOODED EXPOS. IN OCTOBER 2021, OUR PETITION ASKING PETSMART TO STOP THE SALE OF REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS IN ITS PET STORES EXCEEDED 50,000 SIGNATURES, WHICH WE DELIVERED TO PETSMART'S HEADQUARTERS IN PHOENIX, AZ. CALLING OUT CRUELTY ON SOCIAL MEDIA: OUR VIEWS THAT ABUSE REPORT DOCUMENTED THE CONTINUED PRESENCE AND POPULARITY OF FAKE ANIMAL RESCUE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE DESPITE THE COMPANY'S PREVIOUS PUBLIC STATEMENT THAT IT WOULD TAKE ACTION TO REMOVE SUCH VIDEOS AND PREVENT THEIR POSTING. IN AUGUST 2021 AT LEAST 130 VIDEOS WERE STILL AVAILABLE ON THE PLATFORM. WE SENT SEVERAL LETTERS TO YOUTUBE EXECUTIVES URGING THEM TO SET A CLEAR, ENFORCEABLE POLICY PROHIBITING THESE VIDEOS, AND MORE THAN 16,000 SUPPORTERS SENT EMAILS TO THE COMPANY DEMANDING THE SAME. PROTECTING PRIMATES FROM THE PRIVATE PET TRADE: THROUGHOUT 2021, WE WORKED TO SUPPORT A CRUCIAL BILL THAT WOULD RESTRICT THE TRADE AND POSSESSION OF NON-HUMAN PRIMATES IN THE US, THE CAPTIVE PRIMATE SAFETY ACT. IN OCTOBER 2021 WE HOSTED A WEBINAR EXPLAINING THE CRUELTY BEHIND THE TRAFFICKING AND POSSESSION OF PRIMATES IN HUMAN HOMES AND ROADSIDE ZOOS AND FEATURED SPEAKERS FROM PRIMATE SANCTUARIES THAT OFFER REFUGE TO SURRENDERED ANIMALS. THE WEBINAR WAS INTRODUCED WITH A VIDEO FROM THE BILL'S SPONSOR, OREGON REPRESENTATIVE EARL BLUMENAUER. IN 2021, NEARLY 36,000 PEOPLE SENT MESSAGES TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES URGING THEM TO CO-SPONSOR THE BILL, LEADING TO SIX NEW CO-SPONSORS. ANIMALS IN FARMING: ENDING THE CAGE AGE: THE RELEASE OF OUR SECOND QUIT STALLING REPORT IN 2021, WHICH HIGHLIGHTED THE STAGNANT PROGRESS AND LAPSED COMMITMENTS TO PHASE OUT GESTATION CRATES IN CORPORATE PORK SUPPLY CHAINS, LED TO STRENGTHENED COMMITMENTS FROM BURGER KING AND ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE LINES AND UPDATED REPORTING BY DINE BRANDS (IHOP, APPLEBEE'S). OUR SUBMISSION OF A BALLOT MEASURE IN UTAH THAT WOULD END THE PRODUCTION AND SALE OF EGGS FROM LAYING HENS HOUSED IN CAGES BY 2023 HELPED PROMPT THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO PASS A BILL PROHIBITING THE PRODUCTION OF EGGS IN CAGE-BASED SYSTEMS BY 2025. DOCUMENTING ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE NEAR FACTORY FARMS: IN APRIL 2021 WE RELEASED OUR GROUNDBREAKING REPORT DOCUMENTING OUR TESTING OF WATER AND SOIL COLLECTED NEAR TO FACTORY PIG FARMS IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR INDICATORS OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE. A TEAM OF LOCAL VOLUNTEERS COLLECTED WATER AND SOIL SAMPLES UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM FROM EIGHT FACTORY FARMING SITES. THE FINDINGS HIGHLIGHTED THE LIKELY CONTRIBUTION OF OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN FACTORY FARMING TO THE PRESENCE OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANT BACTERIA IN THE ENVIRONMENT. BRINGING PLANT-BASED TO THE PEOPLE: OUR MEAT REDUCTION CAMPAIGN CONTINUES TO ADVANCE THE CAUSE OF PLANT-BASED PROTEINS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF SHIFTING TO A MORE HUMANE AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM. IN SEPTEMBER 2021, OUR FOOD TRUCK SERVED 1,000 FREE PLANT-BASED DARING CHICKEN SAMPLES TO PEOPLE IN NEW YORK CITY DURING NYC CLIMATE WEEK AND THE UN FOOD SYSTEMS SUMMIT, PROVIDING THE PUBLIC WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO TASTE A DELICIOUS MEAT-FREE OPTION AND LEARN HOW PLANT-FORWARD DIETS CAN PROTECT THE CLIMATE. IN OCTOBER 2021, WE LAUNCHED THE FIRST-EVER MOVING THE MENU REPORT RANKING THE TOP 50 US QUICK-SERVICE RESTAURANT CHAINS BASED ON HOW THEY ARE EMBRACING MORE SUSTAINABLE AND ANIMAL-FRIENDLY MENUS BY ADDING PLANT-BASED OPTIONS AND SETTING CLEAR GOALS TO MOVE AWAY FROM MEAT. |
