More information
Compassion in World Farming -Ireland started in 1992. It is part of the international Compassion in World Farming organisation, which was founded in England and now works to achieve better animal welfare standards in the EU and globally. Compassion hosts a European Coalition For Farm Animals, in which animal welfare groups from the EU (including Compassion-Ireland) work together to improve EU farm animal welfare standards. Compassion-Ireland is represented on the Irish Government's Farm Animal Welfare Advisory Council. This was established in 2002 as a response to growing public interest in high farm animal welfare standards in Ireland. Compassion's views about farm animal welfare are based on scientific evaluation of animal welfare. Compassion produces excellent reports on farm animal welfare issues.
