Background
BWC was founded by Lady Muriel Dowding in Britain in 1959 to inform people about the suffering of animals in the fur, ivory and exotic leather trade and in the cosmetic industry. There are branches throughout Britain and in the U.S.A., Australia, India and S.A. The local head office is in Cape Town and we have branches in Durban, Pietermaritzburg, Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg. BWC is an educational, charitable Trust campaigning against the abuse of animals in vivisection, the fur, ivory and cosmetic trades, seal culling and in factory farming. BWC was formed in Cape Town 18 years ago.
