[edit] Animal rights vs. animal welfare

There are important differences between animal rights and animal welfare (see discussion on AW page). I don't think the two types of groups should have been merged. Rosemary Amey 18:56, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • I agree. These two lists shouldn't have been merged. Also, merging them has caused the need for explanation at the head of the page to say what the difference is between them. A similar explanation is already on both the "animal welfare" and the "animal rights" pages so this is not only duplication but triplication.

I only just saw these comments, nearly two years after the fact! Don't let anyone say we're unresponsive. ;-D
I've split the lists into animal welfare, on the one hand, and animal rights on the other, as the two are indeed very different and often work in direct opposition to one another. SlimVirgin (talk) 16:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mystery groups

I deleted one group that wasn't googleable, and one that is --

There is a web page but it loads very slowly. I think it is probably a student organization from one of the Wah Yan Colleges, but I don't read Chinese so I'm not certain. While I don't want to discourage any nascent animal welfare, I think we also need to keep this page encyclopedic. So please, if you know something about the Wah Yan College Cats, create that page & document it.--Jaibe 19:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A few more links to Animal welfare groups.

Hi, I added a few more links to this page, the list of animal welfare groups, including internal links as well as links to their websites.Beakymouse (talk) 00:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I removed the external links, leaving just links to resources on how to find groups. Rockpocket 00:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
