Campaign for animal welfare

We aim to prompt political and behavioural change on a range of animal welfare-related issues. But, we can't do it alone...

What are we campaigning for?

We're campaigning to:

Raise awareness for the welfare needs of our nation's pets and helping pet owners to ensure the welfare needs of their pets are being met.
Improve the welfare of as many farm animals as possible, at every stage of their lives.
Ensure wild animals are protected from human activity and unnecessary suffering.
Reduce the use of animals in experiments and reduce their suffering with a constructive and practical approach.
