Our Mission

The Animal Welfare Institute is dedicated to alleviating animal suffering caused by people. We seek to improve the welfare of animals everywhere: in agriculture, in commerce, in our homes and communities, in research, and in the wild

What We Do

Through the lens of animal welfare, we work to protect animals from suffering and/or extinction that result from:

  • the use of animals for food, clothing, health products, experimentation, education, entertainment, companionship, or other purposes;
  • the means used to breed, raise, capture, manage, transport, or kill them; 
  • cruelty to or neglect of individual animals; and/or
  • human activities that threaten species’ survival.
