People for Animal Welfare (PAW) was founded in 2005 by a group of passionate Singapore Management University students who want to bring across a simple message – treat animals humanely. We are dedicated to broadcasting responsible pet ownership and the prevention of animal cruelty. We do this through education by organizing events, volunteering, gatherings and collaborations with other animal welfare groups.
Today, PAW focuses on domestic animal welfare but still lend our support to concerns over wildlife conservation, unethical animal farming and wildlife and pet trade issues. Mission:
To foster a love for animals.
To educate and raise awareness to prevent animal cruelty.
To give animals a voice.
