Faqs
- What are WSPA's administration costs?
- WSPA makes every effort to raise money and spend it in the most effective way possible. It is an absolute necessity that WSPA invests in fundraising in order to secure a long-term income. It is equally important that WSPA chooses to spend its money on animal welfare projects that will have a lasting and substantial effect on animal welfare.
- What are member societies?
A member society is an independent animal welfare organisation that is a part of WSPA’s global network, working together to improve animal welfare.
The benefits to WSPA of working with local groups around the world are that these people provide expert, hands-on knowledge, of local cultures, attitudes and animal welfare concerns. WSPA often supports the work of local groups so that indigenous people can tell their own authorities that they want change within the community. This sends out a very positive and powerful message.
The member societies benefit from our 50 years experience in animal welfare. WSPA can advise groups on how to campaign for change effectively, how to harness the support of local people and how to lobby the authorities appropriately. We can also provide education materials and training, for example, in animal handling and health care. WSPA can also provide funding where appropriate.- How did WSPA start?
- For 25 years, The World Society for the Protection of Animals has fought to realise a dream; a vision of a world where animal welfare matters, and animal cruelty ends. Since our formation on the 4th June, 1981, WSPA has travelled to the farthest flung reaches of the planet in the name of animal welfare. Today, our presence in more than 145 countries is testament to our commitment to end all forms of animal suffering and cruelty.
