The World Society for the Protection of
Animals (WSPA), has launched a new
initiative called "Animals Matter To Me"
to achieve global recognition that animals
matter, that they can feel pain and can
suffer and that we have a responsibility
to put an end to cruelty around the world.
"Animals Matter To Me" represents the
biggest ever global animal welfare initiative
linking the entire animal welfare movement
under one strategic goal - global recognition
that animals are sentient beings, capable of
feeling pain and suffering.
WSPA has launched a worldwide petition
calling for support of this new campaign for
a United nations Declaration for Animal
Welfare and I strongly urge each and
every one of you to sign. Please encourage
your friends, family and colleagues who
care about animals to do the same.
You can sign the petition at:

WSPA is seeking 10 million signatures to
let the governments of the world know
we are serious about achieving a Universal
Declaration on Animal Welfare at the
United Nations. A Universal Declaration on
Animal Welfare would have a real,
long-term impact on the welfare of billions
of animals worldwide. You can help achieve
recognition and protection of animals
around the world by joining a global voice
in support of the campaign.
THANK YOU!
