33 Powerful Animal Advertisement Examples That Tells The Uncomfortable Truth

A little while ago, we wrote about powerful advertisement examples that were designed to raise awareness about important social and environmental issues. But what about animals? They don’t have a way to raise awareness about the issues they face, so it’s up to us to help them out.

Because of our inactivity and little concern to animal rights, according to WWF, there are around 20 species of wild animals in critical endangerment with a lot more vulnerable ones. If we let animal cruelty continue, we might lose such animals as tigers, gorillas, and whales.

These printed ads address different types of issues, but they’re all about giving a voice to the voiceless. Most of us love animals, and yet we remain ignorant of or apathetic towards the abuse of domestic or circus animals or the extinction, poaching, and over-harvesting of wild populations. If you’re an animal lover, consider putting your time or your money behind one of these noble campaigns!

There are lots of powerful animal welfare ads, and we’ve compiled a list of the most memorable ones. Ones that might just help to raise awareness to this awful case.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

Divisiveness among vegans and/or animal advocates is counterproductive, so is aggressive language since this is fundamentally about non-violence. Let's support what each one is doing and appreciate it instead of condemning and criticizing in non-constructive ways.

Animal abuse is such a tough topic, and it takes thought-provoking campaigns such as these to bring awareness to something that plagues our society. Thank you for sharing these examples, they really motivate me to be more proactive. I'd like to share more examples of animal cruelty slogans fitting for any campaign to end the suffering of other species: Stop Animal Abuse And Animal Cruelty Slogans

These are really great. However, I would like to point out that The WWF advocates for hunting as well as animal testing: https://www.peta.org/blog/wwf-really-stand/ http://www.pandaleaks.org/kill-it-to-save-it/ More negative on the WWF: http://www.pandaleaks.org/wwf-accused-involvement-in-violence-and-abuse/

PETA is not a reliable source. They kill more animals than they save.
