About the Organisation

OBRAZ – Defenders of Animals is a non-profit organization whose vision is a society that perceives animals as living beings with their own interests, not as means for human benefit. It strives for changes that are achievable in the conditions of the current world and will positively affect the largest possible number of lives. It involves the general public in its campaigns. With this approach, it has achieved two significant legislative successes – the ban on fur farms and caged chicken farming in the Czech Republic.
