WSPA - World Society for the Protection of Animals
For 25 years, WSPA has aimed to promote the concept of animal welfare in regions of the world where there are few, if any, measures to protect animals.
Politically, we have campaigned to convince governments and key decision makers to change practices and introduce new laws to protect or improve the welfare of animals.
With generous donations from our supporters, WSPA has helped indigenous people set up new animal welfare groups, enabling the local community to have key involvement in the improvement of animals‘ lives.
Understanding that human ignorance is a major factor in the continuation of animal cruelty, WSPA‘s education programmes facilitate a change in people’s attitudes towards animals, and their plight, for the better.
Our rescue teams provide direct help to animals that have been abandoned, neglected or caught up in natural or man-made disasters all over the globe.
Building a united global animal welfare movement
The 25 year path towards achieving our goal has taken WSPA to the farthest flung reaches of the planet. This has resulted in our presence in over 70% of the world’s countries to date.
With consultative status at both the United Nations and the Council of Europe, WSPA is the world‘s largest federation of animal welfare societies.
We are proud to be part of a growing network with over 850 member organisations in 150 countries; this means that WSPA can bring together animal welfarists throughout the world to challenge global issues.
If you love animals, join The WSPA. £3 a month can help stop 12000 bears being kept in tiny cages and being tortured.
A wild bear taken by poachers may have less than a 60% chance of surviving the non-medical procedure to create a permanent open wound in her abdomen from which bile can be drained, twice every day, by re-inserting a catheter. Bile that’s used in Traditional Medicine.
In the wild, where’s she’s free to roam, this bear might live to 25. Instead, she may have to survive up to 10 years kept in a tiny cage, thrashing against the bars because she’s unable to move around.
Undernourished and over-stressed, she’ll be forced to lie there in pain, in her own filth.
So take action here. By donating £3 a month to The World Society for the Protection of Animals, you can become a member and help us prevent cruel practices like bear bile farming.
Giving each month is important because it takes time, money and persistence to lobby governments to achieve legislation that outlaws cruelty to animals, build and establish sanctuaries to rehabilitate some of the animals you help rescue, and to change attitudes to animal welfare through education of children and communities. We also need resources to answer urgent calls for help from around the world.
