Society for the Advancement of Animal Wellbeing

- Protecting animals around the world

Who We Are

 The Society for the Advancement of Animal Wellbeing was founded by a handful of dedicated international volunteers seeking to improve the lives of animals around the world.

 Through education programs and various campaigns we hope to bring about awareness of animal issues as well as to find pragmatic solutions and thereby speak up and protect those who can not do so for themselves.

 We believe one of the best ways to ensure the protection and wellbeing of farmed animals is the advocacy of a plant based diet. We also believe that animals should have the freedom to live their lives as nature intended and that animals do not belong to humans and therefore should not be used for entertainment, clothing, food or any other purpose.

We therefore seek the highest wellbeing for animals which ultimately is their complete emancipation from human use. The definition of wellbeing is as follows: "a contented state of being happy and healthy".

 On going campaigns include the free distribution of the DVD "Meat What You Eat" which was produced in collaboration with the local and well established animal welfare group EAST. The Taiwan version of the DVD shows the cruelty suffered by animals on factory farms. The footage given to us by EAST provides a glimpse in to pig markets and farms in Taiwan and the horrible conditions as well as the inhumane methods of slaughter. The DVD is in Chinese and has multi-language subtitles. So far 12,000 copies have been distributed to the public by our volunteers!

 

We have also produced an international version of "Meat What You Eat" which has English, French, Spanish, Chinese and Korean audio languages plus numerous subtitle languages. If you would like to to distribute the DVD in your country please contact us and we will provide you with the DVD and tips on how to run your own campaign.
