Animal Society

The Animal Society is a non-profit organization that has been advocating for the rights and interests of animals since its founding. Based in Germany, the organization works to prevent animal suffering and to sustainably improve the living conditions of animals.

The main mission of the Animal Society is to create a society where all animals and their needs are respected and protected. The organization is based on the principles of effective altruism, aiming to save as many animal lives as possible and to avoid unnecessary animal suffering. Values such as compassion, justice, effectiveness, and transparency form the foundation of their work and also shape the internal work culture[1].

The Animal Society conducts comprehensive educational and political campaigns to create transparency and establish animal welfare in society. A key focus is on improving the political representation of animals, not only in Germany but also at the European level. The #EUforAnimals campaign, in which the organization is involved, aims to anchor the responsibility for animal welfare in the job titles of the responsible EU commissioners, thereby ensuring adequate representation of the animals affected by EU legislation[2].

The organization actively opposes the exploitation of animals in agriculture, experimental laboratories, and the entertainment industry. It criticizes the lack of enforcement of existing animal protection laws and the destruction of natural ecosystems by industrial activities. Through its work, the Animal Society aims to achieve systematic changes and reforms to improve the welfare of animals in society[1].

The Animal Society emphasizes the importance of public involvement and support. Every donation and every commitment help to implement animal welfare projects and effectively prevent animal suffering. The organization calls for working together for a fairer and more compassionate society where all living beings are protected[1].

Through its dedicated and effective work, the Animal Society significantly contributes to raising awareness for animal rights and achieving concrete improvements for the welfare of animals.
