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.
