On December 11, 2023, lawmaker Seiichi Kushida asked Prime Minister Fumio Kishida about animal welfare at a plenary session of the House of Councilors, the upper chamber of Japan’s parlimament. Mr. Kushida explained how animal welfare efforts will impact investment and the country’s economy. “In the policy speech of the agriculture minister, there was absolutely no mentioning of animal welfare. Is it that animals don’t matter as long as people are happy? Animals are not objects. What is your perception of Japan being rated as the world’s coldest country to animals?,” he confronted the prime minister. In response to this question, Prime Minister Kishida emphasized the need to promote animal…
Companies that have contributed to the spread of animal welfare The Animal Welfare Award (AWA) is an annual* award to express our gratitude to companies that have made animal welfare efforts with animals in mind in Japan, a country that lags behind the rest of the world in animal welfare for livestock and aquatic animals. We evaluated initiatives that we believe had the greatest possible impact from the perspective of the Animal Rights Center Japan, which is involved in activities to protect farm animals in Japan. *April 2022 – March 2023

This method is not permitted per international standards as it’s not an approved usage of the infectant. Some also kill piglets by using…

Despite strong interest from overseas, the Marine Park has refused contacts with us or the media and has withheld information. Management resumes with a new owner!?

According to an article on the 2019/7/5 issue of the weekly magazine “FRIDAY”, the chief director has been replaced by a Chinese woman; moreover, details were posted that are astonishing, or rather they matched our worst expectations.…
The government’s lack of understanding and subsidies for investment in animal welfare facilities has become a bottleneck for cage-free, gestation stall-free, and improved chicken slaughterhouses. Seeing this as a problem, Diet member Katsuhiko Yamada, who himself is a pasture-raised chicken farmer in Nagasaki Prefecture, sought the minister’s understanding at the House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. When Councilor Yamada asked if there is any support for capital investment in cage-free, better chicken, gestation stall-free, and bridging-free facilities that meet international standards, MAFF responded that there is support for cattle grazing, including support for pasture fences, and that support is available for egg-laying hens in the Livestock Production…
