Overview
World Animal Protection is a global animal-welfare group that works to end the exploitation of animals. It runs campaigns, exposes cruel practices, promotes animal-friendly alternatives, and influences laws and policies to improve animal welfare around the world. Its programs rely on global advocacy, research, and partnerships to drive systemic change rather than just treating symptoms of animal cruelty. The organization emphasizes that animals are sentient and deserve protection, and it aims to move animal rights onto the global agenda and transform the systems that cause suffering. Its goal is a world where animals live free from cruelty and suffering, with policies and practices that protect them benefiting animals, people, and the planet.
