Known as the AWI, the Animal Welfare Institute was founded in 1951 to decrease the cruelty of animals by people. At first, the AWI mainly focused their attention on animals used for experimentation. Today, however, the AWI has widened its boundaries and deals with other aspects of animal welfare, such as factory farming, the pollution of oceans, and the cutting down of forests.

Do you know if there is any way that we as consumers can support this type of cause?

According to their website, consumers who want to take action can allow time in their busy lives to speak out for the animals and let Congress, the President, etc. know that something needs to be changed. You can also make donations to the AWI.

The AWI seems to be doing a fairly good job at reducing animal cruelty. Also, by reducing factory farming as well as other types of animal cruelty, humans seem to be protected. Reducing things like factory farming would raise food quality and food safety as well hopefully. Thanks for the heads up about this great organization!
