OneKind is Scotland’s voice for animals. OneKind was founded in 1911 to advance animal welfare, the protection of animals from cruelty and the prevention of animal suffering.
Our vision is for people to live in harmony with animals, ending cruelty in Scotland and working with others to deliver better animal welfare across the UK and globally. We achieve this by giving animals a voice through campaigning and lobbying for laws that will protect animals forever, and by inspiring people to make changes in their lives to reduce their negative impact on animals.
OneKind works in the mainstream of the animal protection movement to deliver positive change for animals in Scotland, and, through working with others, across the UK, Europe and beyond. We have decades of experience in helping to shape the legislative and cultural landscapes through high-profile campaigns, political lobbying, investigations and public education. We take a practical, evidence-based approach to understanding and developing solutions to animal welfare problems.
We’re a small charity with a very big impact. Our successes have included a ban on the mass killing of mountain hares, the ban on the use of snares and glue traps, greater regulation of the killing of wild animals on grouse moors. We carry-out pioneering work on the ethical principles of the killing of wild animals and award-winning campaigning on greyhound racing. OneKind is also at the forefront in the high-level conversations regarding farmed animal welfare and is campaigning specifically on the ending of farrowing crates for pigs.
