is the global animal welfare organisation for animals under direct human influence, which reveals suffering, rescues animals in need and protects them. Our vision is a world where humans treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding.
Our Focus
We work to ensure that companion animals, farm animals and wild animals are legally protected from exploitation and abuse.
We collaborate with policy makers and stakeholders in the EU to prevent illegal trade and other cruel commercial activities in both pets and wildlife, as well as to improve the lives of farm animals suffering in intensive farming systems and live transport.
As we celebrate the UN's International Day for Biological Diversity,let’s remind ourselvesof the critical role genetic diversity plays in addressing future environmental challenges and why it is essential to preserve it against one of its major threats, intensive animalfarming.
While the EU is now set to slash 90% of its emissions by 2040, the European Commission is avoiding the task of tackling emissions from animal agriculture. It cannot continue to do so if the EU is to reach its climate targets.
