What Is Animal Aid?
Established in 1977, Animal Aid is one of the UK's largest and most active organisations campaigning for animal rights. They campaign peacefully yet effectively against all forms of animal abuse and promote living a cruelty-free lifestyle on either a vegetarian or vegan diet. They also have an active youth group called Youth 4 Animals. All of Animal Aid's campaigns are supported by experts in science and nutrition and extensive undercover investigations.To find out more, visit www.animalaid.org.uk or www.youth4animals.com.
