Wildlife

WSPA works to end three key abuses of wild animals.

  • Inhumane killing of wild animals for meat and other products.
    ild animals are brutally killed all over the world so that their body parts can be used for medicine, decoration, jewelry and clothing. 
  • Capture and suffering of animals taken from the wild for live trade.
    Animals suffer horribly when captured for live trade, as they are often transported long distances in cramped conditions. Many die en route or face a lifetime of captivity. 
  • Wild animals in captivity
    Wild animals in the entertainment industry are often kept in substandard conditions. They spend their whole lives in tiny enclosures, suffer abuse from their owners, and are forced to act unnaturally.

The issues that we are currently focused on include:
