Join us in ending cruelty and promoting compassion for all animals.
Welcome to Chicago Alliance for Animals
Chicago Alliance for Animals (CAA) is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization committed to ending animal exploitation through peaceful advocacy, education, and community action.
We believe every animal deserves respect, protection, and freedom from harm — and we work every day to make that a reality.
From Daily Easy Actions (DEAs), to impactful campaigns, CAA empowers compassionate citizens to speak up, and create lasting change for animals-- across Chicago and beyond.
Spur and other Wildlife
Spur
For 35 YEARS, Spur—a giant African Sulcata Tortoise—has been confined to a 3' x 5' tile enclosure, with no place to dig and burrow as she would in the wild. She endlessly tries to escape. Used as a display prop (not for sale), Spur is denied the space and freedom she needs to live naturally.
Rabbits
Bulls
Steer-tailing in Ogle County
Steer tailing is a rodeo event where a terrified steer is violently chased and yanked by the tail, often tearing ligaments, bruising muscles, and causing intense pain, all for spectator entertainment.
Rocky
Rocky the Lonely Coyote Remains in Captivity
Rocky, found as a pup in Tennessee and mistaken for a dog, has been confined at River Trail Nature Center in Northbrook since 2018. Advocates urge his transfer to a Colorado sanctuary, citing signs of stress and a need for a more natural habitat.
Lincolnwood Ignores Animal Welfare Laws
Sick, neglected, and even pregnant animals are being sold to unaware buyers—non-returnable and non-refundable. While shelters and rescues are full, more are being bred, caged, and sold down the block.
The Village is allowing the sale of rabbits and wild animals by waiving Cook County’s humane ordinance and parts of its own code.
Animals are granted very few rights. it's our responsibility to protect those that exist.
