Animal Welfare Party

Established in 2006, AWP believes in a better future for people, animals and the environment. The party’s policies are aimed at creating a fairer, more equitable and sustainable society in which the interests of the environment, people and animals are all taken into account. Key policies include:

• Redirecting subsidies from livestock and fisheries farming to plant-based agriculture.
• Phasing out animal experimentation with binding targets for reduction and proper support for alternatives.
• Increasing penalties for those convicted of animal cruelty.
• Promoting healthy plant-based lifestyle initiatives in schools, GP practices and the workplace.
• Phasing out farming practices with poor welfare consequences for animals.
