AWF is a charity dedicated to . It鈥檚 run by the veterinary community, for the benefit of the veterinary community, so that together we can collectively champion and improve the welfare of animals in the UK. AWF鈥檚 work covers three main areas: research, education and debate.

Breakthrough research

Over the years, AWF has provided millions in grants and funding to animal welfare related research projects. One recent stand-out project led by investigator Dr Rowena Packer explored the welfare impacts of the 鈥榩andemic puppies鈥� phenomenon. The project resulted in two seminal papers being published: One which examined the motivations and behaviours of , and another evaluating , health, and early life experiences. It has also laid the groundwork for , including exploration of motivations and behaviours of people buying designer crossbreed dogs (funded by UFAW), and a follow up investigation into the lives of the original 鈥楶andemic Puppies鈥� from the 2020 study (funded by Battersea Research Programme 鈥� due to be published winter 2022).

This important body of research not only highlights changes in puppy buyers鈥� behaviour during the pandemic, but also reveals majors shifts in the socialisation and demographics of the 鈥減andemic puppies鈥� and raises future welfare concerns.

AWF also recently funded a project exploring the welfare impacts of six rat management methods, led by Dr. Sandra Baker. The study led to a which was published earlier this year. This paper informed both 萝莉视频鈥檚 position on glue traps and the (then confidential) findings were used by Jane Stevenson MP at the time of the Glue Trap (Offences) Bill (enshrined in law in April 2022).

AWF-funded research projects have led to breakthrough diagnosing and treatments in many species, helped inform legislation, and made a real tangible impact on the welfare of animals.
