Albert Schweitzer Foundation

More than 60 billion farm animals are slaughtered every year. Inadequate welfare requirements and legal protections mean that the overwhelming majority of these animals suffer greatly, living their entire lives in crowded, uncomfortable, unhealthy conditions. While recent progress on these issues in Europe is promising, welfare standards in some sectors are still very low. Albert Schweitzer Foundation (ASF) works to raise standards in Germany and in the European Union. ASF also works to boost the use of plant proteins and to reduce the amount of animal products in the supply chains of large buyers such as supermarket chains and catering companies.
