Don’t tell me I can’t… get seal hunting banned

Cathy Kangas, 54

Cathy is a staunch supporter of animal welfare around the globe. In 2006 she managed to persuade the Canadian government to shut down the Canadian seal hunt. In 2014, she established the first animal protection summit on the island of St Martin, to push for more humane treatment of stray dogs across the Caribbean. In addition, she has rescued hundreds of horses from kill pens in Mexico, worked to tackle the stray dog population in Puerto Rico, and set up her own eponymous foundation to rehome healthy dogs and cats in animal shelters.

Cathy says: “I’ve made it my life’s mission to give animals a voice. When I created PRAI Beauty, I wanted to build a brand that went beyond just cruelty-free skincare products. I saw an opportunity to save the lives of animals everywhere. Each PRAI Beauty sale contributes to my namesake foundation, the Cathy Kangas Foundation for Animals, which helps shelter animals.”
