National Animal Rights Organisations in the UK
Animal Aid

Animal Concern was formed in 1988 and incorporates its parent body the Scottish Anti-Vivisection Society, founded in 1876. Animal Concern is involved in campaigns against issues such as factory-farming, dog-fighting, the fur trade, performing animals, killing of seals, misuse of air weapons and bloodsports. Animal Kingdom Foundation, Incorporated
AKF Inc. is the local affiliate of the International Wildlife Coalition Trust (IWCT) based in the United Kingdom. AKF's mission is to support, protect and promote welfare and the rights of animals; to eliminate the practice of illegal slaughter of dogs for human consumption and to introduce legislations or amendments in the existing animal-welfare laws of the Philippines. Animal Liberation Front Supporters Group
The Animal Liberation Front Supporters Group (ALFSG) exists to provide support for activists in the UK who are imprisoned for their activities against animal abuse. Animal Protection Agency (APA)
The Animal Protection Agency (APA) is the UK organisation committed to ceasing the trade in wildlife for pets. Perhaps unbelievably, it is still legal in Britain to sell wild animals captured from other countries. The majority of wild-trapped animals die from the stress and disease that is associated with every stage of their harrowing journey. Next to habitat destruction, collection of animals for the pet trade is the main reason for the decline in many species. Attempts to regulate and control the trade have globally failed. The problem is getting worse, and time is running out! Animal Protection Party
We are a new political party which aims to simultaneously represent the interests of people and non-human animals, a party that isn’t frightened to speak the truth and a party that wants to see real change rather than just be seen to want it. We hope that you will be as excited as we are about the future and will give us your support in our fight for a better system of true equality. Politicians have been allowed to get too comfortable in the cosy world of party politics. All that is about to change. Animal Rights Action Network
Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN), Ireland’s national animal rights group is a vegan based group working to end all forms of animal cruelty and to speak out for their rights. Animals Count
Animals Count is a UK political party for people and animals. We launched in December 2006, and in 2008 and 2009 Animals Count contested elections and received good results. While concern for animals is a mainstream priority, this is poorly reflected in the policies of most UK political parties. Often, animal protection ends up at the bottom of the political agenda, with politicians paying only lip service to animal welfare. Meanwhile, millions of animals continue to suffer in unacceptable conditions. British Divers Marine Life Rescue
The British Divers Marine Life Rescue teams are on standby to respond immediately to any marine disaster or marine mammal stranding anywhere in the UK. All their volunteers regularly train to refresh rescue techniques and meet socially to keep in touch with each other and raise funds. British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV)

Exposes the cruelty of digging out foxes and the injuries also inflicted on terriers. They are seeking legislation in the UK and Ireland outlawing the use of terriers to attack animals underground.

But when the case came to a full hearing, the judge dismissed the company's case against PETA Europe for showing the video and awarded PETA £145,000 to cover costs. Diaries of Despair
Uncaged Campaigns has achieved an astonishing legal success by winning the right to publish the Diaries of Despair report and over a thousand pages of confidential documents. Uncaged Campaigns argued successfully that it was in the public interest to reveal the shocking truth behind one of Britain's most extreme programmes of animal experiments in recent history. Doctors and Lawyers for Responsible Medicine

The Dr Hadwen Trust is the UK’s leading medical research charity that funds and promotes exclusively non-animal techniques to replace animal experiments.

Anything you could possibly want to know about McDonald's or McLibel nestles somewhere in their 21,000 files. McDonald's spends over $2 billion a year broadcasting their glossy image to the world. This is a small space for alternatives to be heard. Midlands Animal Rights Coalition (M.A.R.C)
A network of grassroots animal rights, hunt saboteur and vegan campaign groups around the Midlands. National Animal Rights Association (NARA)
The National Animal Rights Association is a newly formed, voluntary, animal rights group based in Dublin. They have many ongoing campaigns, and are constantly out spreading awareness through their protests, demonstrations and information tables.

It is, however, endorsed by the Badger Trust (formerly the National Federation of Badger Groups NFBG) and the League Against Cruel Sports (LACS). National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS)
The world’s first organisation campaigning against animal experiments having been founded in 1875. Millions of animals suffer and die in cruel, unscientific, and futile experiments. The NAVS advocates the prohibition of all animal experiments and, pending the achievement of this aim, they may support partial measures of reform which would provide steps towards the abolition of vivisection. Animal experiments: Unreliable. Unethical. Unnecessary. No Foie Gras
Foie gras is produced by cruel and inhumane farming practices. Humane organizations and citizens across the UK and around the world are actively working to prevent the cruel force-feeding of birds to make foie gras. Northern Animal Rights Coalition

Anyone interested in getting involved in animal rights campaigns, please get in touch with NARC and they will put you in touch with your local group. Nurses Movement for Responsible Medicine
NMRM opposes animal experimentation on medical and scientific grounds. They now know that animals do not react in the same way to drugs and other substances as we do, due to differences in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, response to and elimination of drugs. But this is not something you are likely to hear from our country’s media, which has consistently shown itself to be pro-vivisection due the very many vested interests. Animal experimentation has resulted in immense human damage. This has affected people of all ages and continues to affect an unacceptably high percentage of patients. One Kind
An animal protection charity re-connecting people and animals to create a better world for all. PETA 2
PETA UK website for teenagers People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

Rabbit Fur
The killing of rabbits for their fur is the fastest growing part of the global fur trade yet little is known about it. The Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT) have infiltrated and exposed this hideous trade. A trade where millions of rabbits are confined to bare wire cages, kept as breeding machines, their throats slit and their furs turned into boots, hats, gloves and trim for jackets. Travelling across four European countries, infiltrating rabbit farms, slaughterhouses, dressing companies, manufacturers and retailers - CAFT can now expose the reality of the rabbit fur trade.
