Compassion in Action: Why Animal Welfare Matters

The bond between humans and animals has deep roots in our history and culture. From the companionship of pets to the vital roles animals play in agriculture and research, we have forged relationships with them that enrich our lives in countless ways. To neglect their suffering, to fail to provide them with the care they deserve, is to diminish the value of these relationships and to erode the very foundation of our shared existence.
