Some of us have the passion to help animals and we have sympathy for them but we just don't know how we can help. There are many organizations and programs out there that you can join in order to help improve the rights and treatment of animals. You can also start your own petitions to help make laws for the safety of animals.One very large and well known organization is PETA which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PETA is a nonprofit charitable organization that was founded in 1980. There mission and goal is to support the rights of all animals and teach others that animals are not for us to eat, wear, use as entertainment or other harmful things. Through their different programs such as FurIsDead and GoVeg they are nonstop fighting for animal rights. They help reveal animals going through abuse or maltreatment and report them to the world to spread the news of how animals are treated. To join or help the organization you can visit their website at www.peta.org.
When it comes to animal abuse a big organization is ASPCA which stands for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Founded in 1866, it was the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. They work to reach a day where no animal will feel fear or pain. They do their best to help prevent animal poisoning, animal abuse and cruelty by finding them new loving homes or shelters. You can visit there website which is www.aspca.org.
The last organization I am going to mention is the WSPA which stands for the World Society for the Protection of Animals. The WSPA began in 1981 and has since then fought for the end of animal cruelty and hoped for a world of care for animals and that animal welfare is important. They try to convince the government to create laws to help animals and how they are treated. Most importantly they do there best to inform and spread news to everyone because they know that human ignorance is a major impact.
"WSPA‘s work is focused on four priority animal welfare areas:"
Companion animals - responsible pet ownership, humane stray management and preventing cruelty.
Commercial exploitation of wildlife - intensive farming and cruel management and killing of wild animals for food or products.
Farm animals - intensive farming, long distance transportation and slaughter of domestic animals for food.
Disaster relief for animals - providing care to animals in distress from man-made or natural disasters.
