Urgent Action Needed

Speak up for Farm Animals: Tell the USDA that Factory Farming isn’t "Natural"

The USDA is currently soliciting comments on how the "natural" label should be defined and applied to meat and poultry products. Please join us in sending your comments to the USDA to let them know that you think existing standards are not acceptable and that the "natural" claim should require what most people consider to be natural living conditions for farm animals – unrestricted access to fresh air, sunlight and the ability to perform natural behaviors.

Tell the USDA factory farming isn't "natural".


Take action: Help us ensure that US waters are safe for sharks

Senator John Kerry (D-MA) has introduced the Shark Conservation Act of 2009 to help close loopholes in the existing laws regarding shark finning in US waters. This bill has already passed the House of Representatives and is awaiting action in the Senate. 

Please ask your Senator to co-sponsor this bill and help put an end to shark finning.


Act now to protect sheep from mass cruelty

Five years ago after a tragic accident involving the death of five thousand sheep on a transport ship, the government of New Zealand made the humane decision to stop the long distance transport of sheep - But now that decision is in danger of being overturned and we need your help to ensure that the ban remains in place.

Ask McDonald's to take a stand against cloned animals

WSPA is supporting a campaign by our member society, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS), to keep meat and milk products from cloned animals out of the food supply. It would be a major victory for animals if McDonald's, one of the world's most well-known brands, refused to buy meat or dairy products from cloned animals or their offspring. Join us in asking the president of McDonald's to be a leader in the food industry by making a public pledge that cloned animals and their offspring will never be a part of McDonald's menu.


Support the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare    

The global petition for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW) has reached its first half million signatories. This milestone ties in with mounting political support for the Declaration. The world's Chief Veterinary Officers, at the recent meeting of The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), gave their overwhelming support for this initiative.
