Founded in 2012, Gyvūnų gerovės iniciatyvos aims to tackle the root causes of the stray animal problem rather than the consequences. They operate several animal welfare initiatives by addressing cases of animal neglect and empowering the public to get involved. They also contribute to the drafting of animal welfare legislation to ensure that animal-friendly laws are adopted. With the help of dedicated lawyers, the organisation files judiciary animal abuse cases to improve the whole enforcement chain.
