About Us
The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA)
The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) vision is of a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty ends. WSPA is the world's largest alliance of animal welfare organizations. Through partnership with over a thousand member societies we strive to create a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty ends. We bring about change at both grassroots and governmental levels, to benefit animals.
WSPA's work 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 cruel management and killing of wild animals for food or by-products
- Farm animals intensive 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, and thereby protecting people's livelihoods.
With the help of our supporters, WSPA is making lasting changes and bringing relief to countless animals worldwide. Watch this video to witness some of WSPA's 2009 achievements first hand.
