Travis Barker Leverages Rock Star Status to Combat Animal Cruelty

Rock legend Travis Barker is channeling his notorious past into a campaign to end animal cruelty, encouraging fans and followers to take small, impactful steps.

Small Actions, Big Impact: How to Help Animals

Barker is partnering with Humane World for Animals to promote everyday actions that benefit Animals. These include simple changes like swapping meat for plant-based meals, choosing cruelty-free cosmetics, and supporting fur-free retailers. He’s urging consumers to use their purchasing power to demonstrate that compassion matters to brands.

Simple Steps for Consumers

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Shopping: Vote with your wallet by choosing fur-free fashion, cruelty-free cosmetics, and brands with strong animalwelfare policies. Email brands to inquire about their practices.
• Eating: Incorporate more plant-based meals into your diet. Explore plant-based options when dining out and advocate for wider availability.
• Social Media: Use platforms like Twitch, Instagram, X, Facebook, Bluesky, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube to raise awareness, share adoptable animal posts, and report instances of fake animal rescue content.
• Pets: Adopt instead of buying, foster pets, spay/neuter your Animals, ensure they have proper identification, and keep cats indoors.
