Sie repräsentiert Tierschutzorganisationen aus fast allen Mitgliedsstaaten der Europäischen Union.

Sie betreibt ebenfalls das Sekretariat der Intergroup für Tier- und Artenschutz des Europäischen Parlaments, das monatlich im Europäischen Parlament in Straßburg tagt. Die Eurogroup for Animals arbeitet auch eng mit dem Handel zusammen, um Unternehmen davon zu überzeugen, höhere Tierschutzstandards einzuführen. Zusätzlich führt sie Kampagnen zur Verbesserung der Situation von Nutztieren, Versuchstieren und Wildtieren, zum Beispiel 2008 um die Akzeptanz des Klonens zur Nahrungsmittelproduktion in der EU zu verhindern.

  • Eurogroup for Animals is an animal protection lobby group based in Brussels, Belgium, that seeks to improve animal welfare standards in the European Union. The association represents animal protection organisations in 26 of the 27 EU Member States and several other countries. Since it was launched in 1980, the association has succeeded in ensuring that the European Union is a world leader in animal welfare standards. Indeed, following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, a requirement has been included in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (one of the two fundamental Treaties on which the Union is founded) stating that, since animals are sentient beings, the EU Institutions and the Member States must pay full regard to the welfare requirements of animals in the formulation and implementation of Union policy. Eurogroup for Animals provides advice and expertise on animal welfare to various European institutions, such as the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, and the European Parliament. It also provides the secretariat of the European Parliamentary Intergroup on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals, which meets at the European Parliament in Strasbourg once a month. Eurogroup for Animals also works closely together with retailers to encourage them to adopt higher standards of animal welfare. The association works to improve the welfare of animals that are farmed (poultry, bovines, ovines, caprines, swine, etc.) or caught wild for the purposes of human consumption (i.e. fish), animals used in science (rabbits, rodents, etc.), companion animals (conventional pets, such as dogs and cats, and animals kept for the purposes of companionship, such as equines) and wild animals.
