URGENT: Right now, across the United States, animals are being bred, trafficked, and sold by the thousands into underground markets where they will be starved, mishandled, and brutalized long before they ever reach a ritual altar.

And every single day, shady backyard breeders, illegal live-animal dealers, and underground slaughter operators profit from this cruelty—operating openly, without licenses, oversight, or consequences.

These criminals hide behind the shield of “religious practice,” knowing full well that the real suffering happens before any ritual occurs—where the First Amendment does not apply, and where state and federal agencies have full authority to step in.

Animals pay the price.

That’s why we are urging Florida state officials to:

• Crack down on unlicensed animal dealers and backyard slaughter operations supplying animals for ritual sacrifice.
• Enforce environmental and public-health laws that these illegal operations violate daily.
• Impose severe civil and criminal penalties on anyone who profits from trafficking animals for abuse.

These are secular laws—and they apply to everyone.

Religious freedom is NOT a free pass for commercial cruelty.

ARM’s investigations have uncovered filthy trafficking hubs, animals packed in crates without food or water, illegal slaughter equipment, environmental contamination, and cruelty so severe it violates multiple state and federal statutes—and yet these operations continue without penalty.

Join us in calling on Florida's Attorney General:

Shut down Florida's cruel supply chain feeding these abuses and hold breeders, traffickers, and illegal sellers fully accountable—with real penalties.

We are demanding immediate action.

Sign this critical petition, and we will send your name, along with thousands of others, to Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier to make a more significant impact on your behalf.
