Animal Experimentation
PAWS is opposed to the use of animals in experimentation, and is against the use of products and establishments using animals for experimentation. (Animal Welfare Act Administrative Order No. 40) In the interim, it will work for the enforcement of the Three Rs within industries that still use animals for research:
Reduction – Reducing the number of animals being used for experimentation
Refinement – Ensuring that animals do not feel pain and should be euthanized immediately if they can no longer be rehabilitated
Replacement – Promoting the use of alternative methods of research and dissection (virtual dissection)

Working Animals
PAWS believes that working animals must be treated with consideration and must be given adequate care, shelter, food and water. They must not be overworked or overloaded, nor must they be forced to work through ill-treatment.
Farm Animals
Farm animals must be provided with shelter, exercise, food, water and care in a manner appropriate to their physiological and behavioral needs.
PAWS is opposed to methods of husbandry which do not fulfill this criteria.
Food animals for slaughter must be instantaneously killed or rendered instantaneously unconscious and insensible to pain until death comes.
Companion Animals
PAWS approves the keeping of companion animals or pets only when there is full personal commitment to the welfare of the animals. The animals must be provided with shelter, exercise, care, food and water appropriate to their physiological and behavioral needs.
We are opposed to all mutilations on companion animals carried out for non-therapeutic reasons (i.e. tail-docking, ear-cropping, declawing).
We believe that spaying or neutering of a companion animal is part and parcel of responsible pet ownership and is crucial to preventing animal homelessness and cruelty.
