Our Work: Public Salience of Animal Welfare Humane World for Animals UK 1 min read11 June 2024 Animal welfare consistently ranks among the top issues the British public cares about. Politicians often tell us their inboxes are full of emails from compassionate constituents asking them to take action to strengthen our animal welfare laws, and for many people where different parties and candidates stand on animal welfare issues matter at the ballot box. Our Animals Matter briefing, produced in 2025 with three of the UK's other leading animal welfare organisations, highlights how improving animal welfare policy is both popular with the electorate and essential to creating a safe, sustainable and fair future. Our 2024 Political Animals report, authored by Dr Steven McCulloch, Prof Paul Chaney and Dr Lisa Riley, collates and analyses the results of more than a dozen opinion polls to understand the ways in which strong animal welfare policies are a vote winner in UK general elections.
