Carly OBeirne's Company Details
Since 1951, the Animal Welfare Institute has been reducing animal suffering caused by people. We seek better treatment of animals everywhere—in the laboratory, on the farm, in commerce, at home, and in the wild.Through engagement with policymakers, scientists, industry, and the public, AWI seeks to:- Abolish factory farms, support high-welfare family farms, and achieve humane slaughter for animals raised for food;- Improve the housing and handling of animals in research, and encourage the development and implementation of alternatives to experimentation on live animals;- End the use of steel-jaw leghold traps and reform other brutal methods of capturing and killing wildlife;- Preserve species threatened with extinction, and protect wildlife from harmful exploitation and destruction of critical habitat;- Protect companion animals from cruelty and violence, including appalling conditions in commercial trade; and- Prevent injury and death of animals caused by harsh transport conditions.
