About World Animal Protection
Every day billions of animals experience unbearable suffering. At World Animal Protection we move the world to protect animals because the life of every animal counts.
We’re a global animal welfare organisation and have been campaigning for over 50 years to end animal cruelty and suffering.

- We end the needless suffering of animals
- We influence decision makers to put animals on the global agenda
- We help the world see how important animals are to all of us
- We inspire people to change animals’ lives for the better
- We move the world to protect animals.
Join us and together, we move the world to protect animals.
