Mission

The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is the world's largest alliance of animal welfare groups, connecting over 900 independent animal welfare organizations, or Member Societies, in more than 150 countries to raise the standards of animal welfare around the world. WSPA's programs include a mix of direct fieldwork, campaigning, education and training, and member society development. Among other efforts, WSPA responds to disaster situations on the ground, campaigns to end specific forms of cruelty, encourages communities to respect animals through education efforts, and funds sanctuaries for animals rescued from exploitation. Much of our work is carried out by our member societies, with support of WSPA expertise and funding.
