No Animals Were Harmed®

You’ve probably seen our “No Animals Were Harmed”® disclaimer at the end of movies. But did you know that American Humane Association’s Los Angeles-based Film & TV Unit is the film and television industry’s only officially-sanctioned animal monitoring program?

With established filmmaking guidelines, detailed production reviews, certified safety reps and more, we help keep the cameras rolling and the animals safe.

Protecting Animals in Film since 1940

Our Film & TV Unit has exclusive on-set jurisdiction from the Screen Actors Guild to supervise the use of animals in movies, TV shows, commercials and short films.

Helping Filmmakers Put Safety First

With published guidelines and highly-trained staff, we are a valuable resource for producers, filmmakers and screen writers. Our team members work with industry professionals to protect animal actors and promote animal welfare.
