About WSPA:
WSPA’s vision is of a world where animal welfare matters, and animal cruelty ends.
WSPA has been promoting animal welfare for more than 25 years. Our work is concentrated in regions of the world where few, if any, measures exist to protect animals.
WSPA’s work is focused on four priority animal welfare areas:
- Companion animals – responsible pet ownership, humane stray management and cruelty prevention.
- Commercial exploitation of wildlife – intensive farming and the cruel management and killing of wild animals for food or by-products.
- Farm animals – intensive farming, long distance transport and slaughter of animals for food.
- Disaster management – providing care to animals suffering as a result of man-made or natural disasters, and thereby protecting people’s livelihoods.
Our mission: to build a united global animal welfare movement.
With consultative status at the United Nations and the Council of Europe, WSPA is the world‘s largest alliance of animal welfare societies.
We are proud to be part of this growing network, with more than 900 member organizations in over 150 countries.
WSPA brings together people and organizations throughout the world to challenge global animal welfare issues.
WSPA has 15 offices and hundreds of thousands of supporters worldwide.
Realizing our aims
Politically, we have campaigned to convince governments and key decision makers to change practices and introduce new laws to protect or improve the welfare of animals.
With generous donations from our supporters, WSPA has helped people set up new animal welfare groups, enabling local communities globally to help drive improvements in animal welfare.
Understanding that human ignorance is a major factor in the continuation of animal cruelty, WSPA’s education programs facilitate a positive change in people’s attitudes towards animals.
Our field and disaster management teams provide direct help to animals that have been abandoned, neglected or caught up in natural or man-made disasters all over the globe.

Where Money Goes
There is no more powerful expression of solidarity with the people of Israel than showing them how much we care by walking in support of our Jewish homeland.
Highlighted by groundbreaking partnerships with Israeli philanthropists, communities and volunteer organizations, monies raised from the Walk with Israel will be allocated through UIA Federations Canada, to educational and social welfare initiatives that strengthen vulnerable communities, such as those in northern Israel and Sderot.
Funds raised will help enable UJA to support effective, life-changing educational and social supports for Bat Yam’s Ethiopian-Israeli community to integrate them into mainstream Israeli society. We will also continue to support successful social and educational initiatives in Eilat/Eilot, Toronto’s partner community – enhancing opportunities and transforming the region.
On behalf of the residents of Israel, United Jewish Appeal of Greater Toronto thanks you.

About: From the outset, the founders of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW, rejected the notion that the interests of humans and animals were separate. Instead they embraced the understanding that the fate and future of harp seals-and all other animals on Earth-are inextricably linked to our own.
IFAW’s courageous actions drew international attention to the plight of the seal pups and successfully rallied worldwide condemnation of the hunt. Thanks to IFAW’s continued vigilance, it is now illegal to hunt whitecoat seal pups for commercial purposes on the ice floes off Canada’s east coast. This is a fragile victory, however, for Canada’s commercial seal hunt persists. IFAW continues to document and expose abuses of the commercial hunt and press for an end to this cruel, unsustainable slaughter. Over the years, the small team of committed campaigners reaching out to help seals has grown to become the world’s leading international animal welfare organization. IFAW begins its fourth decade of operation with more than 200 experienced campaigners, legal and political experts, and internationally acclaimed scientists working from offices in 17 countries around the world.
We are now joined in this important work by 1.2 million supporters worldwide. This broad base of support makes it possible for IFAW to engage communities, government leaders, and like-minded organizations around the world and achieve lasting solutions to pressing animal welfare and conservation challenges-solutions that benefit both animals and people. Over the years, our approach has been as varied as the species we protect.
