Stichting Varkens in Nood
About
Animal life for all pigs
Een dierwaardig leven voor alle varkens
Pigs deserve a life that fits their natural behavior, with space, fresh air and earth to pry in. To achieve that, we put pressure on the livestock industry, force improvements through the courts and bring abuses to the attention of politics and society. As long as pigs are kept for their meat, we fight for every improvement. Each step forward means less suffering and a better life for the animals.
Varkens verdienen een leven dat past bij hun natuurlijke gedrag. Met ruimte, frisse lucht en aarde om in te wroeten. Om dat te bereiken zetten we druk op de vee-industrie, dwingen we verbeteringen af via de rechter en brengen we misstanden onder de aandacht van politiek en samenleving. Zolang er nog varkens worden gehouden voor hun vlees, strijden we voor elke verbetering. Iedere stap vooruit betekent minder leed en een beter leven voor de dieren.
