Animal welfare: fired by ethics, delivered by law, underpinned by science

Welcome to the Animal Welfare: Science, Ethics, Law and Forensics Association (AWSELFA), incorporating the British Veterinary Forensic & Law Association (BVFLA).
Our mission is to promote the welfare of animals through raising awareness and understanding of animal welfare science, forensics and ethics and their application to policy, law and practice.
AWSELFA provides opportunities for all those with an interest in animal welfare to develop informed views and to learn more about animal welfare science, as well as relevant ethics and law.
