Animal Welfare Institute
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. Since 1951, AWI has advanced its mission through strategically crafted policy and legal advocacy, educational programs, research and analysis, and engagement with policymakers, scientists, industry, educators, other NGOs, the media, and the public. We seek scientifically grounded protections for animals in all settings, and robust enforcement of those protections. 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.
