Therealpaulmueller.org is operated by Paul Mueller, Inc., a for-profit media and investigative storytelling company.

While this website uses a .org domain, it is not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The .org domain is used to reflect the platform’s social mission—to expose animal cruelty, raise public awareness, and encourage accountability through responsible reporting and advocacy.

Our Mission

Paul Mueller’s work is focused on shining a light on animal abuse cases that often go unnoticed or underreported.
