FOUR PAWS has worked for decades to reveal the suffering of animals in agriculture systems, advocate for animal-free consumer choices, and to improve conditions in relation to the breeding, transport and slaughter of animals.
Through our global campaigns and direct stakeholder engagement, our aim is to help consumers make informed decisions and to support alternative, animal-friendlier production while creating a kinder world for animals today.
