OneKind is a campaigning animal welfare charity based in Edinburgh and operating in Scotland, UK, and as part of the Eurogroup for Animals. OneKind exists to end cruelty to all animals and improve their lives.

Background

The organisation was founded as the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Vivisection, in 1911 by Netta and Elizabeth Ivory. It continues to work towards an end to animal experimentation but in the 1950s expanded to include protection of all types of animal. It was renamed Advocates for Animals in 1990, as part of a rebranding campaign that included a new logo, but officially became known as OneKind in 2010.

Wild animal welfare

In 2011, OneKind set up the SnareWatch website to document the extent of animal snaring in the UK.

Another issue OneKind works on is calling for an end to the killing of wildlife on grouse moors and elsewhere in Scotland.

Farmed animal welfare

OneKind promotes compassionate dietary choices and works to improve the lives of farmed animals by campaigning to end practices such as the caging of farmed animals, and intensive animal farming.

Companion animal welfare

In 2025 OneKind launched a campaign calling on the Scottish Government to put an end to the suffering of wild animals in homes.
