Dierenbescherming

Dierenbescherming is the Dutch animal welfare organisation, a membership-based group that works to protect animals in the Netherlands. It campaigns for better treatment of animals, lobbies government and industry on animal welfare rules, and runs the Beter Leven label for higher welfare standards in farming. Its governance has a members' council (ledenraad), which approves appointments, and a supervisory board (raad van toezicht) that oversees the organisation.
