rm redlinks and [[Animal rights]] groups
'''Animal welfare groups''' argue for greater protection for non-human [[animal]]s, particularly those used by human beings in [[Animal testing|laboratories]] or in entertainment, as well as [[domestic animals]] such as those used for food, labour, or as companions ([[pets]]).
Unlike [[animal rights]] groups, [[animal welfare]] groups do not argue that animals should never be used, or kept as property, by human beings. Nor do any animal welfare groups advocate violence. These groups tend to seek legal, social and financial strategies.
