REVOLUTIONARY
In AWO we are an organization that challenges the regulations of today’s food industry to make it healthy, sustainable and free of animal suffering. And we’re warning you: we are VERY persistent.
Lidl’s million-euro turnover stained with animal suffering
Lidl is the supermarket chain with the highest turnover in all of Europe. Precisely because of this, it is the brand that could change the paradigm for animals. But instead it has decided to perpetuate animal suffering.
Let's put an end to the f***ing cages
The objective? Eliminate the tiny spaces and deplorable conditions in which THOUSANDS of animals live.
Let's empty all the cages in the food system.
Signing is showing companies that we demand minimum standards of decency. We repeat: minimum. Because the cages should have disappeared years ago.
Take the plunge for fish
Every day in Spain millions of fish die by suffocation, enduring totally unnecessary suffering.
But wait a minute. Can that agony be avoided?
Hold my beer!
Fish are gaining ground
We have managed to get three large aquaculture companies (Piszolla, Caviar Pirinea and Profand) to publicly commit to not letting the fish agonize for almost an hour, yes, it is BASIC and yet we have had to fight for it.
Yes, it is something BASIC and, even so, we have had to fight for it. Are we going to stay here? Obviously not, guapi. We have a plan, trust me.
In AWO we make change happen (really)
We're up for challenges. That's why we've set out to end the suffering of farmed animals. And we're not settling for just anything. We want real commitments from companies and institutions. And we want society to demand them too.
We pursue a food system free of conflict where intensive animal farming and all the suffering that this production system entails are only a distant memory. We demonstrate to different entities that animal welfare is the key to a sustainable, healthy food system free from animal suffering that, as a society, we will no longer tolerate.
How do we do it?
If there’s one thing that characterizes our work at the Animal Welfare Observatory it’s that all our work is based on data. Our actions are backed up by rigorous research, impressive numbers and an extra helping of perseverance. Get ready to discover how we get our great results!
We uncover what goes unseen and reveal everything that happens behind the closed doors of factory farms and slaughterhouses. The investigations we publish are the secret weapon, revealing the truth about animals. Sometimes we use hidden cameras, other times we get the information from whistle-blowers, but our favorite source will always be leaks.
We work tirelessly to influence institutions and promote policies that protect and improve animal welfare. With a combination of solid arguments and a little smooth talking, we remind them that animals deserve to be treated with respect and that we are not willing to accept excuses or obsolete methods.
Want to know how we convince businesses to ban some of the cruelest practices in their supply chains? Our specialty is negotiation: we love setting out the scientific evidence that links animal welfare with a healthy, sustainable food industry. And if that doesn’t work… well, it's better that it does.
“There is a conflict between a producer’s profits and the best interests of animals.”
