KEEPING ANIMALS
IN THE WILD
The world’s extraordinary and unique wild animals and their habitats should be valued by everyone on the planet. Sadly, this is not the reality. Every year tens of millions of animals are subjected to intense cruelty and often death – abducted from the wild to fuel the exotic pet trade, ‘entertainments’ featuring wild animals and products made from their body parts. With your support we are striving to protect as many as we can from harm.
“As a direct result of our lobbying this year, for the first time in its history the European Union adopted a formal policy of support for work to improve whale welfare. This was an exciting and symbolic victory towards our vision of a future where whales are shot only with cameras. Protecting whales is a huge global challenge and we’re extremely fortunate to have had our supporters right behind us at every step.” Claire Bass, WSPA Oceans Campaign Leader
