“We work with several governments and regional political blocks such as ASEAN, the African Union and of course the European Union. Many of our supporters and members are based in Europe, including the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and the UK, where our International office is based. Our policy focus is to end Industrial Farming and the suffering it causes to farm animals. Secondly we campaign to end the commercial exploitation of wild animals. In Europe we currently are working to end the use of cages in farming and to end the farming of animals for fur.”
