About Us

Eurogroup for Animals is the leading voice for animal welfare at European Union level providing a voice for the billions of animals kept in laboratories, farms and homes or living in the wild.

We are recognised by the European Parliament and Commission as the leading animal welfare organisation at EU level and represent animal welfare interests on many EU advisory committees and consultation bodies.

Our expertise and professionalism makes us a respected partner and advisor which:

  • Promotes best practices in livestock production so that the millions of farm animal are spared avoidable suffering on farm, in transport and at the time of slaughter

  • Works with retailers and food producers to ensure policies and products are continuously introduced which significantly improve the way farm animals are kept for food

  • Accelerates the uptake of alternative test methods changing the focus from animal tests to more humane and more reliable non-animal methods

  • Creates strong alliances with stakeholders to introduce change in culture and policies on animal welfare
