For example they stopped the tobacco laboratory of Philip Morris in Haasrode. They only focus on the animals used for animal testing. In Belgium you have the ADC (Anti Dierenproeven Coalitie) or AAC (Anti-Animal Coalition). The organization has no leader and consists of small groups ore sometimes just one person, so the group is difficult to stop. These activists remove animals from laboratories and farms, destroy facilities, and arrange safe houses and veterinary care. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.Īnother organization is ALF (Animal Liberation Front), but this is a resistance that takes direct (illegal) action with the aim of animal liberation. They also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds, and other “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry. It is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 2 million members and supporters. The organization that is best-known is PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). There are many organizations around the globe that try to stop animal testing.
