DierAnimal (from the Dutch and French words for "animal") is an animal welfare political party in Belgium. The party seeks to create a society where all living things are respected equally regardless of skin color, gender, age or species. It supports "animal liberation" and opposes the meat industry. In the 2019 regional elections, with Victoria Austraet the party won a single seat in the Brussels Parliament.
Austraet was evicted from the party in May 2020 due to disagreements. The party thus lost its only parliamentary representative. Election results Chamber of Representatives Election Leader Votes % Seats +/– Government 2019Constance Adonis Villalon 47,733 0.70 New 2024 10,341 0.15 0
