Two years after the Labour Government came to power and promised to improve animal welfare, many of those commitments remain undelivered. We look at what’s changed, what’s stalled, and what we can do to keep up the pressure.
Rights Respect Compassion
Animal Aid is one of the UK’s most established and respected animal rights organisations. It was founded in 1977 with a clear mission: to achieve rights, respect and compassion for all animals.
Greyhounds deserve freedom
The fatality rate of greyhound racing is at its highest since 2021, according to the industry's own statistics. Join us at the Century of Suffering: March to End Dog Racing in July.
Campaigning for animal freedom
We campaign against all forms of animal abuse. Since 1977, our campaigns have led the way in exposing cruelty, influencing policy, and shifting hearts and minds. Our work is evidence-led and fearless because we are dedicated to creating a kinder world.
Animal Aid Volunteer Network
We’re building a world where animals live free from harm and exploitation – and we can’t do it alone because real change happens when people come together.

More testimonialsI just wanted to mention the students absolutely loved yesterday's session. It was very educational for our students, so thank you very much. I can't wait to book you again for the following year!
