Animalia's philosophy

Animals have intrinsic value and rights. They have the right to exhibit their natural behaviour and an essence, which must not be tampered with artificially, for example with genetical engineering. In addition, animals have the right to live and die without unnecessary pain or suffering.
 
Animalia does not approve of  the exploitation of an individual based on its species (speciesism). The potential uses of, or profits made from, an individual cannot be the grounds for their value or rights. A pig in a factory farm, a rat used in vivisection, a fox on a fur farm as well as a pet dog has intrinsic value and deserves to be treated in the best possible way. Every animal is valuable as such and must not perceived of as a means to an end.

The long-time goal of Animalia is the banning of industries that exploit animals. However, Animalia approves of humans and animals living together when both parties benefit from it. When in contact with wild animals, humans must take into consideration their rights and welfare.

Animalia questions killing animals for the secondary needs of humans. At the same time, Animalia wants to guarantee the best possible quality of live for the animals used in our society and works actively for the improvement of animals' welfare. Keeping animals must not cause them suffering and humans must guarantee their individual wellbeing. Economic factors must not be a reason for weakening animals' wellbeing.
