It
is time for Action. Our planet is being ravaged by greed
and politics. Population explosion is gnawing into our fragile
resources. Wildlife is threatened, and our ecology is undergoing
drastic upheavals. Forest are being mercilessly uprooted, oceans
and rivers polluted, and oil is being sought in pristine lands.
Each one of us can make a difference. Each one can help slow
down the poisoning of the planet.
There are many organizations that are making
a difference by uniting people on different causes. Here are
some of those whose voices are being heard. Join -
and be counted.
WSPA
World Society for the Protection of Animals
For 25 years WSPA, The World Society for the Protection of
Animals, has travelled to the farthest flung reaches of the
planet for the welfare of animals.
Today, their presence in more than 140 countries is testament
to the commitment to end all forms of animal suffering and
cruelty.
Politically, they have campaigned to convince governments
and key decision makers to change practices and introduce new
laws to protect or improve the welfare of animals.
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.

WSPA and help stamp out cruel practices like Bear Farming.
