Who is Verify Humanity?
Verify Humanity is a small, friendly non-profit organisation based in the UK. It was established in 2020 by Conservation Photographer and Writer - Kate Fox.
We are a Compassionate Conservation animal advocacy organisation. Our vision is to create a world where speciesism and human-animal conflict no longer exist by raising awareness through research and challenging conventions through the media and campaigns.
In a world where conservation culling, pest control, humane slaughter, and entertainment killing are becoming our default setting, Verify Humanity advocates compassionate conservation, peaceful co-existence and veganism as solutions that promote life, a natural balance and a new way of engaging with our fellow creatures.
