Aim

Animal Welfare Party is urgently raising fighting funds to contest the upcoming EU Elections on 23rd May in the London Region.

For the first time in history 11 European parties for animals are contesting the EU elections together as Animal Politics EU. Our movement represents voters in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Finland and Cyprus. We're campaigning together on a collective manifesto to create a fairer and more sustainable future for all. Will you help us? Here in the UK, Animal Welfare Party urgently needs funds to print election leaflets, posters and run a targeted social media campaign. Your support today will help us reach more voters and let them know there is an animal and environmentally-friendly option to vote for.

Our Key Policies for Europe

All Animal Politics EU parties have a shared vision and will work closely together to:

Raise the moral and legal status of animals
Phase out farming practices which are harmful to animals and re-direct EU subsidies away from the livestock industry into sustainable, plant-based & organic agriculture
Ensure proper enforcement of animal welfare legislation across all EU member states
End the long distance transport of live animals within and outside the EU
Stop over-fishing within and outside European waters
Phase out animal testing with binding targets for reduction and replacement, combined with incentives for alternative testing methods
End legal derogations and subsidies for cultural and religious traditions that involve cruelty to animals such as bull-fighting, non-stun slaughter and foie gras production
Fight the illicit trade of pets and halt the barbaric treatment of stray dogs and cats in Europe
Implement a ban on hunting and prohibit the import of wildlife trophies
Close all European fur farms and ban fur imports from third countries
Take hazardous pesticides and endocrine disrupting chemicals off the market
Combat climate change by supporting a shift towards a plant-based lifestyle, implementing a CO2 tax for companies and speeding up efforts to realise a complete switch to renewable energy
Make efficient, affordable and accessible public transport, as an alternative to air travel, a reality
