I have supported WSPA with monthly contributions for several years. Their world-wide service area ensures that animals, ALL species of animals, receive help when catastrophes occur. In addition, WSPA works to end abuse through education and practical solutions.

WSPA is a very practical organization. It's goal is to help countries, communities and individuals SOLVE its animal-related problems rather than just talking about them. They recognize that harmful practices won't just disappear, especially if the alternative requires behavior changes and/or money. WSPA provides whatever is needed and helps develop long-term plans for animal welfare. Their work in reducing and eventually eliminating the trade in bear bile is an excellent example of how WSPA works. They rescue bears from street performers also and provide safe accommodations for them. In the UK they were instrumental in eliminating factory farming of dairy cows, and in the USA they are working to improve the lot of horses.

WSPA is a hard working organization that does more than talk about the needs of the world's animals. It helps solve the problems for the long term. I have supported them for several years and never fail to be impressed by their accomplishments as reported in the newsletter.
For example, villagers have been killing elephants that trample their fields. Fences are useless against elephants. WSPA did research and discovered that by planting very hot pepper plants around the fields, the elephants stopped entering.
Bears in Southeast Asia are farmed for bile to supply the Chinese market. Rather than just work to ban these farms, WSPA worked with the famers to find alternate income sources and worked with their governments to work out a timetable for discontinuing this practice. WSPA has opened bear sanctuaries to care for bears rescued from being part of street entertainment such as bear baiting and dog fights.
WSPA trains people how to care for their work animals, provides free or low-cost veterinary services, helps teach children to respect animals and much more.

Out of so many great causes that we have around, I chose WSPA a while ago after seeing their constant effort and tireless fight to dignify the life of not just one particular group of animals but to all living creatures that are in need.

I am grateful for the WSPA as they get results, and immediately make the donors aware of their progress with email updates. Members are able to choose where their donations are allocated, and specific updates are given right down to the individual animals rescued. WSPA takes on lesser know but horrible abuse that captured wild animals endure and seek to rescue these animals as well as educate the local citizens in the areas they are working. This is the first time I have encountered this to such an extent with an animal welfare organization.

I donate to the WSPA because I believe in helping animals globally. Changing the lives of animals is dependent on a few things some of which are emergency care, prevention of disease, education and most importantly - CHANGING legislation. I believe that the WSPA works on all of the fore mentioned, and that my donation is being used appropriately. They also communicate efforts consistently.

WSPA is an organization that works to improve the welfare of animals worldwide. Although the information (I get from WSPA) often pains me, I appreciate that they uncover, and tell caring people about, much of the horrific abuse and exploitation of animals in my own country, and in far-off places. I have literally lost sleep because of what I now know about bear bile farming. But I have told several friends about it, and maybe they will tell some friends, and my hope is that as awareness increases, so will action. I so appreciate that in addition to spreading information, WSPA has taken so many concrete steps to save animals from horrible lives and return them to the peace and dignity all animals deserve.

Many years ago, (around 1995) I watched a National Geographic Special on TV about the plight of the dancing bears. It was horrible. They followed several volunteers with WSPA in the area working to rescue them and place them in a sanctuary. I was heartbroken about what was happening to these bears but so relieved that an organization was out there in the trenches working to help them. I immediately researched how to become a donor of WSPA and have been a regular supporter ever since. I have never regretted it! They go all over the world making a huge impact on the welfare of animals, most of which are located in remote areas of the world where animals are abused and poorly treated with little to no veterinarian care. Additionally, the work with many animal welfare groups to support local need and help to influence change. Over the years I have come to realize that they are one of the most instrumental organizations working on behalf of animal welfare worldwide. I have supported them regularly for over 20 years and will continue for many years to come.

How can you not love and admire a non-profit group that exceeds all boundaries in their devotion and love for what they do ~ helping animals, all animals. My eyes have been opened by WSPA in so many issues, bears, dogs around the world, elephants... Without this wonderful organization many, many animals would suffer in silence. They are the voice and I know I do not stand alone in applauding them.
