List of animal welfare groups
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Animal welfare groups argue for greater protection for non-human animals, particularly those used by human beings in laboratories, for food and in entertainment, and those kept as companion animals. Unlike animal rights groups, animal welfare groups do not argue that animals should not be used, or kept as property, by human beings.
