About

Animal protection is an issue dear to millions and one on which MP’s receive more mail than on any other. Yet, animals are poorly protected by the government. Animals Count's vision is a world in which animals are not exploited and are seen and treated as sentient beings. Our mission is to establish a voice for the animals through a dedicated political party, which focuses on respect and compassion for all living beings. Our constitution is based on the ethics of respect for life. Just like human beings, non-human animals have an interest in being alive and experiencing positive mental states, and an interest in avoiding suffering, illness and death. As ethical human beings we have an obligation to respect and protect their interests. Doing so leads to a more compassionate and healthier society, which benefits humans too.
