VITA animal rights centre is a non-profit charity organisation in Russia, whose aim is to protect animals against cruelty through peaceful means. Its main activity involves campaigning for better conditions for farm animals and for a ban on the testing on animals of medicines and cosmetic products. VITA also fights for better living conditions for animals in zoos and circuses as well as providing food, shelter, and medical assistance for stray cats and dogs that roam the streets.

VITA works in a number of ways to protect and improve the lives of animals. One of its major roles in society is to try to make people aware of the plight of suffering animals and in order to achieve this takes part in numerous television and radio programmes, gives lectures on animal issues and organises special events. The organisation also works with the government trying to introduce new animal welfare laws.

Many celebrities support VITA and have helped it achieve some great victories in the recent past. In March 2008, VITA took a number of Russian stars to the White Sea in an attempt to put a stop to the killing of newly born Greenland seals. The trip attracted a lot of publicity and shortly afterwards a ban was placed on the hunting of baby seals.

The organisation co-operates with well-known international charities and is a member of the World Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the RSPCA. It hopes to be able to do more in the future to protect animals and give them a decent life.
