World Society for Protection of Animals Charity (WSPA)

For 25 years WSPA, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, has travelled to the farthest flung reaches of the planet in the name of animal welfare. The work of the WSPA is concentrated in regions of the world where few, if any, measures exist to protect animals. Today, their presence in more than 140 countries is testament to their commitment to end all forms of animal suffering and cruelty. WSPA have offices in the UK, Tanzania, Thailand, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand and USA.

The WSPA has a number of active animal welfare campaigns including protecting bears from cruelty and captivity, rescuing stray animals, campaigning against factory farming, saving the orangutan, fighting against inhumane acts such as whaling and bullfighting, drawing attention to the plight of uncared for working animals and bringing international recognition to the importance of animal welfare.

WSPA's vision is of a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty ends.

How your donations to World Society for Protection of Animals Charity will be used?

The work of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is focused on four priority animal welfare areas:

• Companion animals - responsible pet ownership, humane stray management and cruelty prevention
• Commercial exploitation of wildlife - intensive farming and the cruel management and killing of wild animals for food or by-products
• Farm animals - farming, long distance transport and slaughter of animals for food
• Disaster management - providing care to animals suffering as a result of man-made or natural disasters

Show that animals matter to you and take the time to sign the petition to bring about a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare; an agreement among people and between nations to recognize the sentience of animals, respect their welfare needs and bring an end to animal cruelty.

Act for animal welfare and make a difference to animals all over the world!
