animal welfare organizations
Creature protection groups
Animal welfare organizations are groups dedicated to protecting animals from cruelty, neglect, and exploitation.
They range from local shelters that rescue and rehome pets to international bodies advocating for humane treatment in farming, research, and entertainment.
Some focus on specific issues—ending factory farming, protecting wildlife, or banning animal testing: She volunteers at an animal welfare organization on weekends.
