VAFAW is the only veterinary organization in the United States
devoted solely to improving the welfare of farm animals.
Our Mission
​
To advocate for animals used in food and fiber production by providing a veterinary perspective grounded in animal welfare and ethics.
The question should not only be whether an animal is suffering, but can that suffering be reduced or eliminated. Even an animal destined for slaughter deserves a life worth living.
James Reynolds, DVM, MPVM, DACAW (Board Member)
