Wakker Dier
Wakker Dier is a Dutch animal welfare organisation. Wakker Dier is Dutch for "Awake animal". Its main purpose is putting an end to factory farming. Wakker Dier was founded in 1998 and fused with the organisation Lekker Dier in 2001, but the name didn't change. Marianne Thieme was the foundation's president from 2004 to 2006. Wakker Dier has had several successful campaigns, most notably the one against battery cages and the one against the castrating of conscious pigs.
