Tsunami wave claims member society victim

It is with great sadness that WSPA has learned of the death of Leone Cosens, co-founder of member society, Phuket Animal Welfare Society, killed by the tsunami wave. All at WSPA extend our heartfelt condolences to Leone's family, friends, and all who knew her, at this immensely difficult time.



Make a Noise

MAKE A NOISE!

The work people do to help animals, whether through a donation or hands on work is making a difference. In fact, it's worth making a NOISE about - which is exactly what people from around the world will be doing during this year's World Animal Week.

Starting on the 4th October, World Animal Week is the perfect opportunity for people to come together and raise awareness and funds for animals, as well as promote the work of WSPA and its member societies.

Building support for animals
This global celebration is a great way to spread the word about animals and the work being done around the world to protect them. By creating a spotlight for animal welfare we can shout about the positive work we've achieved whilst reaching out to the wider community to remind them that animals do matter.

The number of people and organisations celebrating World Animal Week has grown in recent years, creating an event that is fast becoming a global phenomenon. With the help of our supporters we want to see it become bigger and better - a globally recognised calendar event that unites the world in its celebration of animals.
As Kimberly Muncaster, Regional Manager, WSPA New Zealand, said: "Furthering animal welfare can, at times, seem like an impossible task. But it's important to recognise that each step forward, no matter how small, is a move in the right direction. And that's what World Animal Week is about. Celebrating our successes, big and small, and understanding that together, we really can make a difference."

World Animal Week is a great opportunity to have fun and make a positive 'noise'. From dressing up as animals and collecting gold coin donations, to cycling the length of the Pan-Americas, WSPA supporters have gone to extreme lengths to celebrate World Animal Week and make themselves heard. There is no limit to what you can do, the important thing is to take part in your own special way.

Working with the Body Shop in New Zealand
The business community have also embraced World Animal Week, and none more so than The Body Shop in New Zealand, now in its third year of celebrating this event.

Shelly Mansfield, Values & Communications Manager for The Body Shop New Zealand, said: "We've worked closely with WSPA for some time now, but our relationship has been strengthened through incorporating World Animal Week in our programme of events and rolling it out nationally throughout our stores. Our teams love getting involved and doing their bit for animals. As partners of WSPA we proudly wear our WSPA T-shirts and pull out all the stops to raise as much awareness and funds as we can for them during this week. The professionalism and passion of the WSPA teams sits inline with our company values and we're happy to make as much noise as possible for them and animals during this time".
