The Human Environment Animal Protection Party (German: Partei Mensch Umwelt Tierschutz, short form: Animal Protection Party, German: Tierschutzpartei) is a political party in Germany, founded in 1993. In 2014, the party elected one MEP to the European Parliament, and it has remained at one MEP since. Between 2020 and 2024, the party was briefly unrepresented in the European Parliament due to the resignation of Martin Buschmann. The party has never had any members in any of the German state parliaments, nor has it ever had any members of the Bundestag.
