Wildlife

Billions of wild animals across the world are suffering devastating exploitation for commercial gain.

The right to a wild life

Here at World Animal Protection, we believe that animals in the wild should have the right to a wild life, and be protected from commercial exploitation and safeguarded from the governments and businesses that profit from animal cruelty.

We are working tirelessly to raise awareness of the deceptive tactics and activities of organisations that profit from the commercial exploitation of wild animals.

Together we can drive down consumer demand and expose the lies of businesses that profit from cruelty.
