Indonesia backs Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare
Indonesia has joined the campaign to have animal welfare recognised in international law, with the Ministry of Agriculture adding its name to the growing list.
In a letter backing the UDAW initiative, the Ministry stated its support for animal welfare as an emerging and global issue. With more than 230 million people, Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world – so its support for UDAW is a great leap forward for both humans and animals.
Saneekan Rosamontri, campaigner at WSPA, said: “We are delighted to have Indonesia on board.”
