What People Say About Our Events

"AfA’s biennial Conference reflects the vitality and promise of organized concern for animals in Asia Pacific nations, and its participants include some of the most accomplished campaigners in the region. For longtime advocates and for new ones, it’s a don’t-miss experience."

"The AfA Coalition have managed to gather an international community at a time when it has never been more challenging, and important, for animal welfare, human health and the future of our planet. A huge well done."

“With 80 billion farm animals raised and killed for food each year, it has never been more important to hold events like the Asia Farm Animal Day to understand the scale of the problem, the impact it has on the welfare of animals and the environment, and to find solutions together.“
