World Animal Welfare Day

Do Shoppers Care About Animal Welfare?

Animal welfare isn’t the first thing on most consumers’ minds in the U.S., at least when it comes to buying food, clothes or beauty products, according to ƽ’s Global Consumer survey. While it plays a bigger role in the lives of British or Australian shoppers, it still only impacts the choices of around one in five in both countries.

In all three countries, shoppers are most likely to consider animal welfare when buying personal care products such as cosmetics or shampoos. Where 23 percent of UK shoppers stated that animal welfare is an important purchase criterion, 22 percent of Australians said the same, and only 15 percent of U.S. respondents.

According to , this year’s motto for World Animal Welfare Day on October 4 is “A Shared Planet.” The day is intended to encourage people to share the message that humankind should value and respect the ecosystems we live alongside. This includes better safeguarding and conserving both wild and domestic animals.
