Unless otherwise noted all imagery of factory farms on this site is representative of typical conditions.

We have some strategic changes to share that support our intention to strengthen global work through the Open Wing Alliance, and rely less on regional entities. Through our experience and reflection, we believe that continuing to empower and strengthen the movement through non-affiliated regional organizations is the most effective way to create the change we want to see for farmed animals.

As such, over the past year, THL Japan has been assessing how it can have the greatest impact in Japan and Asia. After building out a longer-term strategy toward a cage-free Japan, their team was clear that they needed to become a new, separate organization, unaffiliated with THL.

While over 170 cage-free commitments currently exist in Japan—thanks in large part to the THL Japan team—to make more progress within the Japanese cultural norms, they determined that they need to reassure companies that they will not wage a pressure campaign against them to make cage-free commitments. Instead they will work collaboratively with companies to make progress on their commitments and to get new corporate cage-free commitments.

The movement in Japan is growing, and the fight for animals does not end here. Those who made up the team remain steadfast in their commitment to advocate for animals. We will continue to work for animals, until the abuse of animals raised for food ceases to exist. As part of the Open Wing Alliance, THL will continue waging hard-hitting campaigns and tapping into the force of the alliance to pressure companies in Asia to commit to going cage-free.

Thank you for your partnership and support.


いつも家畜擁護活動にご理解、ご協力を賜りまして誠にありがとうございます。

私たちは、地域組織を通じてケージフリーの運動を活性・強化し続けることが、家畜福祉への良い変化を生み出す最も効果的な方法であると確信しています。

日本とアジアで最大のインパクトを与えるにはどうすればよいか、ケージフリーに向けた長期的な戦略を構築した結果、日本の組織はTHLから離れ、新たな組織として独立する必要があることが明確になりました。

現在、日本では170を超えるケージフリーの取り組みが行われていますが、THLジャパンチームもその一翼を担ってきました。この取り組みにおいてさらなる前進を遂げるために、日本では今後、企業との協力関係を強化し、企業によるケージフリーの取り組みをさらに前進させ、新たな段階への道筋をリードしていきます。

そうした流れの中、2024年1月31日をもって、ザ・ヒューメインリーグ・ジャパンとしての活動は終了いたしました。私たちは、活動や支援を通じて、何千もの動物たちに変化をもたらしてきたザ・ヒューメイン・リーグ・ジャパンのチームに深く感謝いたします。

日本での家畜擁護運動は拡大しており、動物たちのための支援はここで終わることはありません。私たちはこれからも動物たちのために活動を続けていきます。

皆様のご協力とご支援に感謝いたします。
