Animal rights organizations have begun several campaigns to protect animal rights. There are in fact many animal rights groups and each may have a specific focus. For example, there may be a group  that advocates for farm animals and another that advocates for animals used in betting rings, such a s dog fighting.

Animal rights organizations have focused on educational campaigns to make the public more aware of animal rights issues. For example, the treatment of farm animals has been publicized by many animal rights groups. In addition to showing videos and documentaries about animal abuse, the campaign has included speeches and advertising. Farm animals often suffer from harsh living conditions, but animal rights groups have been struggling to have the regulations changed to include larger living quarters and more humane slaughter practices.

Animal rights organizations also fight against practices such as dog fighting. In fact, some organization members have gone undercover to collect evidence of those involved in this type of cruelty. In some cases, these individuals have put their lives on the line in order to expose those responsible.

While many animal rights groups have a specific focus, they often work together toward the common goal of protecting animals. During fundraising events, many animal rights groups may be present in order to educate the public about the myriad of animal rights issues.
