| Introduction | The Greek Animal Welfare Fund (GAWF), operating in Greece as Animal Action Greece, is a charity based in London and Athens that strives to improve the welfare of all animals in Greece. Founded in 1959, GAWF works with street animals, working animals, pet animals – in fact, any animals that need our help. As well as practical and veterinary work, which is often life-saving, we campaign and lobby the Greek Parliament, support smaller animal welfare groups in Greece, run an education programme and offer training in animal care. We believe in working within Greece to find practical and sustainable solutions to animal welfare problems, and our track record speaks for itself. In February 2012, after a relentless campaign, GAWF welcomed the ban on both domestic and wild animal circuses – a first in Europe. We continue to build on this success every day with the help of our generous and compassionate supporters. Our current struggle to help the forgotten victims of the Greek financial crisis is an uphill battle but we are determined to do all we can for the animals in need. We hope you enjoy our blog! |
