Mission
Horses brutally butchered for sale abroad. Dogs and cats stolen for experimentation. Wildlife caught in brutal traps. Farm animals confined in coffin-like crates. Majestic whales slaughtered at sea. The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) works around the world and on Capitol Hill to address these issues and other forms of animal suffering. Founded in 1951, our mission is to reduce the sum total of pain and fear inflicted on animals by humans. In response to the spread of factory farms, we launched our Animal Welfare Approved husbandry standards program in 2006, prioritizing the well-being of animals and the sustainability of humane, independent family farms.
