🎉 1,350 Pages Milestone

The Journey So Far

The Animal Welfare Hub began as a modest collection of pages on core animal welfare topics. Session by session, topic by topic, it has grown into one of the largest freely accessible repositories of animal welfare information on the internet.

This milestone represents content covering:

• Species: From broiler chickens to blue whales, from insects to elephants — hundreds of species and their welfare needs
• Systems: Every major farming system on Earth, including aquaculture, intensive livestock, pastoralism, and smallholder farming
• Regions: Animal welfare in over 100 countries across all continents
• Science: Pain science, sentience research, behavioral needs, welfare assessment methodologies
• Policy: Legislation, certification standards, corporate commitments, and international frameworks
• Innovation: Technology, alternative proteins, precision livestock farming, and welfare monitoring advances
• Advocacy: How individuals, organizations, and governments can create change

Our Mission Continues

Every page in this hub represents one more resource for the person searching for evidence-based information about animal welfare — a student writing a paper, a farmer looking for best practices, an advocate preparing a campaign, a policymaker drafting legislation, or a consumer trying to make ethical choices.

Animal welfare is not a niche issue. It affects the lives of billions of sentient beings on this planet every day. The more information is freely accessible, clearly presented, and evidence-based, the better equipped humanity is to make choices that reduce suffering and expand flourishing.

We will continue building. The work of reducing animal suffering is far from complete.
