Animals Count is a minor political party in the United Kingdom campaigning on animal rights, founded in December 2006 by Dutch national Jasmijn de Boo of Kennington, London.[2][3] The party aims to bring attention to animal welfare and environmental issues, in a manner similar to their Dutch equivalent, Party for the Animals (Partij voor de Dieren),[4] which de Boo stood for in the 2004 European elections.[5][6] de Boo likens the party to the anti-slavery and universal suffrage movements.[2] The party says it has more than 100 members, mainly in London and Wales.[7]
