Wales is officially most animal-loving country in the UK
The findings come from the RSPCA's latest Animal Kindness Index, which shows that 75 per cent of people in Wales describe themselves as animal lovers—higher than in Scotland, England or Northern Ireland.
The survey also found that 85 per cent of Welsh adults believe animal welfare should be protected by government legislation.
The results were published the same day RSPCA Cymru launched its manifesto for the 2026 Senedd election, titled Securing A Better Future For Animal Welfare in Wales.
Billie-Jade Thomas, senior public affairs manager at RSPCA Cymru, said: "It's clear that Wales is a nation of animal lovers and that animal welfare is important to a staggering majority of prospective voters, which is something we'd urge political parties and candidates to really take on board before next year's Senedd election."
