GAWF’s (operating as ANIMAL ACTION in Greece) remit is wide and 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.
