World Society for the Protection of Animals

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:


1) helping people understand the critical importance of good animal welfare


2) encouraging nations to commit to animal-friendly practices


3) building the scientific case for the better treatment of animals.

We are local

We improve animal's lives and prevent animal cruelty by working directly with communities and owners. Working on the ground with local partners for greatest effect, we are active in more than 50 countries.

We are global

We have consultative status at the Council of Europe and collaborate with national governments, the United Nations, the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Organisation for Animal Health – influencers with the power to improve the lives of millions of animals. We are uniquely placed to bring animals into the heart of the most pressing global debates and prove the links between good animal welfare and successful sustainable development.
We are there in emergencies

When disaster strikes, we make sure that animals – so vital for community recovery – are not forgotten. Working with partner organisations, governments, humanitarian groups and international agencies, WSPA is the world leader in animal-focussed disaster response and risk reduction. With 30 years of experience, sometimes we are the only animal organisation able to access disaster-struck regions and make a very real, immediate difference to suffering animals.


What we achieve


Thank you for everything you have helped WSPA to achieve in 2010. With your help we have taken some incredible steps forward for animals.

The ban on bullfighting in Catalonia, the efforts of our disaster teams working in the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake, our mission to stop the cruel culling of dogs in Bali and a host of other achievements simply would not have been possible without your valued support.

Thank you so much for everything you do to help us protect the world’s animals from pain and suffering – your commitment is truly inspiring.




The problem in which i would like to describe is about (2nd class) homeless dogs.

Working with strays: a humane alternative


An estimated 75% of the world’s dog population are strays. Managing them presents a problem in many countries, and has serious implications for animal welfare and public health, especially in relation to rabies.

Lack of animal welfare education and resources mean the methods used to limit stray populations are often horrifically inhumane – poisoning, shooting and electrocution are all common.

But killing street dogs is not effective, because it does not address the root of the problem.

A better way

WSPA’s work has shown that a humane and comprehensive approach works.

Sustainable population management strategies include:
Promoting responsible pet ownership.
Legislative measures against cruelty to animals.
Identification and registration of dogs.
Neutering of stray and owned animals.
Vaccination against rabied and other disease.
Working worldwide

WSPA has worked with local partners across the world on effective dog population management programmes, including:

Animal birth control and rabies vaccination projects in India and Nepal.
Providing equipment and training to some of the first humane stray control programmes in the Middle East.

Delivering training to local authorities in Brazil and Colombia on responsible pet ownership and the humane catching and handling of dogs.
