Save Cruelty Free Cosmetics
Across Europe, millions of animals are used in science each year.
They include mice, fish, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs and monkeys. We need this suffering to end – for the animals and for better medicine, better product safety and better environmental protection. We want to see humane, human-relevant, animal-free science properly funded and fully utilised.
No Animal Left Behind
A once in a generation opportunity to improve the lives of animals in Europe.
Europe’s animal welfare laws were introduced piece by piece over the last 40 years, but they are rarely enforced correctly, and there are serious gaps that leave millions of animals unprotected. We must make sure a full-scale review takes place, that our demands for the best possible welfare standards are heard, and that no animal is left behind.
EU Stop Circus Suffering
Wild animals in circuses are destined to a life of physical abuse and mental torture.
Circuses are travelling entertainment services moving around Europe, and performing wild animals are transported across Member States, where circuses pose severe public safety and animal health and welfare risks. Bans at the national level won’t prevent these movements with all the risks and distresses for the animals.
Rescue centres need your help
COVID-19 is a threat to the survival of animals in European rescue centres and sanctuaries.
Together with our member organisations, we have joined forces with the European Alliance of Rescue centres and Sanctuaries (EARS), a network that supports rescue centres and sanctuaries across Europe.
