Rückblick 2022

2022 has been a year full of dramatic events in our society and the rest of the world. 

In these stormy times more than ever we all must stick to our conviction that a better world is possible not only for humans but also for animals. We have worked hard in 2022 to build up a strong and sustainable organization and also to make a difference for animals. Here are the 10 most significant of our outcomes in 2022 and 2 of the most important projects which will come out in the next months. 

Thank you so much to all our supporters who trusted our work and our vision. Without you, none of these successes would have been possible. We wish you all a peaceful year 2023.

For the animals.

The Animal Society Team.

Cooperation with sanctuaries

We gathered footage which we want to spread through our platforms. Thanks to Hof Narr, Lebenshof Odenwald, Tamerlaine Sanctuary, Woodstock Sanctuary and Catskill sanctuary for the hospitality and everything they are doing for the animals
