List Of Animal Welfare And Animal Rights GroupsAnimal welfare groups are organizations arguing for greater protection for animals, usually those in human usage. Concerns include the way animals are treated when they are to be used for food, dairy milking, companions, vivisection etc. Animal rights groups are are different to animal welfare groups as they argue that animals share certain rights with humans. Groups describing themselves as concerned with "animal rights" rather than "animal welfare" tend to be more strongly activist. They argue for different kinds of rights and protections for animals. Their demands range from the prevention of suffering to the equation of humans and animals (especially great apes) before law. Some animal rights groups say that it is justifiable to break the law in order to help animals. Some groups condone civil disobedience, some condone property destruction, and one or two jusify violence against humans.
