CHOOSE VEG!
Choosing not to include animal products in your meals is the most concrete and efficient way of making a difference for the animals. Did you know that one single person that goes vegan spares the lives of 15 cows, pigs and chicken as well as 2000 fish every year? It’s really quite outstanding that each and every one of us can make that big difference. It makes you reflect over what all we can achieve if we stand together, don’t it?
Organization that documents, exposes and fights animal oppression. We show the reality of animals!

Animal Welfare Sweden (Djurskyddet Sverige), with its 10,000 members, is one of Sweden’s largest organisations working for animal protection. We are a non-profit organisation that has existed for over 100 years. Djurskyddet Sverige consists of 47 member organisations, spread geographically over most of Sweden.
Our vision is a society where humans show respect and compassion for all animals. We aim for all animals to be treated well, regardless if they live in the wild, are kept as pets or are bred to be food. All animals should be protected from suffering. When an animal is put down or slaughtered, this should be done without causing the animal pain.
Our long-term work focus on affecting laws, regulations and individuals to benefit the protection of animals. We rescue animals and achieve immediate change by providing abandoned animals with new loving homes – this work is carried out by our local organisations that run animal shelters.
SCAW is a national center for animal welfare, located at SLU. Our mission is to provide continuing education and to relay scientifically based knowledge to authorities and other actors.
