Wakker Dier

Wakker Dier is an animal welfare organization based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Our dream is a dignified life for all animals in livestock farming. An animal is not a lifeless product. But many companies think differently. For them, animals serve only one purpose: making a profit. But producing meat, eggs, and dairy on a mass scale and as cheaply as possible causes a lot of animal suffering. We will not stop until every animal has a dignified life. To achieve this, we must change the current broken system, where it’s not every animal that matters, but every penny. We know who is to blame: not the animals, not farmers, not consumers. The culprits are the food industry, the government, and ‘Big Agro’. With their relentless focus on economic interests, they have pushed the livestock sector into crisis. These are the parties that need to implement significant changes – and we will hold them accountable. We give a voice to the animals in the livestock industry and confront those responsible. By 2050, our mission will be complete: the abolition of intensive livestock farming in the Netherlands.
