The Party for Animals (Dutch: Partij voor de Dieren, PvdD) is a political party in the Netherlands with 2 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives. One of its main goals is fighting for animal rights and animal welfare, though it claims not to be a single-issue party. The party does consider itself to be a testimonial party, which does not seek to gain political power, but testify its beliefs.[3]
Its chairwoman and political leader is Marianne Thieme. The party was supported in the run-up to the 22 November 2006 parliamentary elections by several Dutch celebrities, such as writers Maarten 't Hart and Jan Wolkers. Marianne Thieme and Esther Ouwehand have sat for the PvdD in the House of Representatives since November 30, 2006. The party's leading candidate for the 2009 European parliamentary election was Natasja Oerlemans, who failed to gain a seat.
It is the first party in the world to gain parliamentary seats with an agenda focused primarily on animal rights.
On January 1, 2007 the Party for Animals had 6,370 members.
