World Animal Protection

Our vision is a world where animals live free from suffering - together we can move the world for animals


We are the global voice for animal welfare, with more than 70 years’ experience of campaigning, and respected across the world for our knowledge and expertise.

We have the influence to be heard by the highest levels of government and the local presence to galvanise widespread popular support.

We have offices in 14 countries and work across 47 countries. We collaborate with local communities, the private sector, civil society and governments to change animals’ lives for the better.

Our goal is to change the way the world works to end animal cruelty and suffering for both wild and farmed animals. Through our global food system strategy, we will end factory farming and create a humane and sustainable food system, that puts animals first. By transforming the broken systems that fuel exploitation and commodification, we will give wild animals the right to a wild life. Our work to protect animals will play a vital role in solving the climate emergency, the public health crisis and the devastation of natural habitats.
