Who We Are
We are Animal Concern, a charity dedicated to the promotion of animal welfare and an end to animal exploitation. Established in 1988 as Animal Concern (Scotland) Limited, our name changed to Animal Concern in 1992. We incorporate the Scottish Anti-Vivisection Society which was founded in 1876.
Our campaigns focus on animal welfare issues and lobbying for changes to legislation to promote the humane treatment of our wildlife, farmed animals and companion animals, and to acknowledge their rights as sentient beings.
Historically, we’ve campaigned on issues ranging from seal shooting and fish farming to vivisection, animal circuses, fireworks and more.
While predominantly based in Scotland, we have also run and consulted campaigns in the rest of the UK and internationally.
