Animal advocacy is pivotal in protecting animals. We promote humane solutions to animal welfare. We advocate against any form of cruelty against animals through enactment of better animal law policies in Zimbabwe. We help with drafting comprehensive animal protection bills that incorporate stiff penalties for animal abuse. We provide legal support and advocate for effective implementation and enforcement of animal laws. We fight for stronger laws that protect animals and hold animal abusers accountable.
AAI utilizes the law to help improve the well-being of farmed animals in Zimbabwe. We campaign to improve the lives of farmed animals (chickens and pigs) by creating laws to ban cages. AAI advocate for use of alternatives to reduce the suffering of animals raised for food.
AAI conduct awareness programs to educate corporates and communities about laws protecting animals in Zimbabwe, the value of animals, and how to improve the living conditions of animals. Community outreach programs help people to appreciate animal cruelty and influence them to change bad behavior that cause suffering of animals. We make and distribute pamphlets that educate people about reducing the suffering of animals.
We offer educational animal welfare club programs in private and government schools in order to increase public knowledge and appreciation of the animal welfare laws. We also believe that when the young are taught about animal welfare whilst young chances are slim that they will depart from the same when they grow old. Our goal is to make sure the learners grasp the five welfare needs.
1: Live in a suitable environment
2: Eat suitable diet
3: Exhibit normal behavior patterns
4: Live in their correct environment or be housed in a conducive environment
5: Must be protected from pain, hunger, suffering, disease and injury.
Wild animals play a critical role in our environment and ecosystem. If wild animals become extinct the environment ceases to exist. Due to poaching wild animals’ populations are declining. To protect wild animals from becoming extinct, AAI raise awareness about wildlife crime from the grassroots level. We educate communities about the importance of wildlife and how to preserve wildlife for the benefit of present and future generations. AAI support the strengthening of existing wildlife laws. The AAI is committed to protecting wildlife.
