The World Society for the Protection of Animals: Taking Giant Strides for Animal Welfare
Our vision is a world where animal welfare matters, and animal cruelty ends.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) has been promoting animal welfare for more than 25 years, working in regions of the world where there are few measures to protect animals.
As the largest alliance of animal welfare organizations, we develop programs in partnership with 910 member societies in over 153 countries. Our work includes a mix of direct fieldwork, campaigning, training and education. We lobby governments to encourage positive change in animal welfare legislation around the world. We encourage communities to respect animals through education and we fund sanctuaries for wild animals rescued from exploitation. When natural disasters strike, WSPA provides relief and aid for animals struggling in the aftermath of hurricanes, floods and earthquakes.
Receiving no government funding, WSPA relies on our own fundraising activities to ensure that our programs continue well into the future.
Walk or Run with Us in the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon
This year, we have put a team together for the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon on September 28th, and we invite you to join us as we "step out" in support of animal welfare.
Our team members will be running and walking, so if you would like to spend some time with a bunch of enthusiastic animal lovers you can join our team, collect some pledges, and get ready for some fun! If you love animals but aren't able to join in then please consider making a pledge to our team, and we will take you with us in spirit on the day of the event.
The top 3 fundraisers will receive an animal friendly prize pack!
