Welcome
Welcome to Animal Welfare Online, a website providing information and resources about animal protection from around the world. Animals matter to all of us, but making improvements to the lives of animals is a challenging task. We hope by sharing information we can learn from each other and make more advances every day.
So often when you start talking about kindness to animals someone comments that starving and mistreated children should come first. The issue can't be divided like that. It isn't a choice between children and animals. It's our duty to care for both. Kindness is the important thing. Kids and animals are our responsibility.
