We are a Dutch political party whose highest priority is animal welfare and the respectful treatment of animals.

The Party for the Animals is the fastest growing political party in the Netherlands. We act as a ‘pacemaker’ in the parliament; in other words, we encourage the other political parties to move faster when it comes to animal welfare.

The Party for the Animals believes that animals should be given the rights that they deserve. Animal interests should no longer continually be subordinated to economic interests. Not just in the Netherlands, but also beyond.

Anja Hazekamp represents the Party for the Animals in the European Parliament.
