Animal welfare issues are very contentious with views ranging from it is OK to treat animals in any way we like regardless of the suffering to giving animals even more rights than humans. Whatever our personal views it is surely right to reduce animal suffering when possible. This list therefore contains areas where we can choose to reduce animal suffering.

Farming |
