We’re World Animal Protection. We’re on a mission to end animal cruelty and suffering. Forever.

Evidence shows that animals are sentient, individual beings who feel pain, fear, and joy. Yet, every day, billions of them experience unbearable cruelty.

Putting animals first isn’t just better for them, it’s vital for us and for our shared planet. Find out what we can do, with your support, to end the cruelty and exploitation of farmed and wild animals.

Together, we can transform the lives of animals across the world.

World Animal Protection has moved the world to protect animals for more than 70 years.
Known as World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) for 30 years, we changed our name in 2014 to evolve our brand along with our mission.

The name World Animal Protection demonstrates who we are and what we stand for, clearly and simply.
