Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
Our vision: a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty has ended.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals exists to tackle animal cruelty across the globe. We work directly with animals and with the people and organisations that can ensure animals are treated with respect and compassion.
With your support, we campaign effectively to combat the world’s most intense and large-scale animal welfare issues. We bring about lasting change by:
• helping people understand the critical importance of good animal welfare
• encouraging nations to commit to animal-friendly practices
• building the scientific case for the better treatment of animals.
