Movies Using Unauthorized ‘No Animals Were Harmed’® End Credits

American Humane Holds the Trademark of the Disclaimer and Is the Exclusive Monitoring and Approval Body for Animals Used in Films

The American public and much of the international film-going community look for the “No Animals Were Harmed”® end-credit disclaimer at the end of theatrical films. It is their assurance that the animal actors used in those productions were not harmed in any way, and that their well-being and safety was assured by the trusted, credible and historic American Humane Association.

Filmmakers and distributors should verify the legitimacy of the “No Animals Were Harmed”® credit with American Humane's Film & TV Unit before approving and finalizing any films for theatrical, DVD or other release.
