Protecting animals in communities The enormous impact we can have became very clear during the We are delighted ‘Global elimination of rabies: the time is now’ conference in December. Here, the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) committed to ending dog-mediated rabies by 2030. to share how we This was a huge moment for us. Evidence of our mass dog vaccination programme successes with our government partners prompted the conference to make humane solutions, rather than dog culls, part of its global rabies elimination plan. This result and our presence as the only have moved the animal welfare and protection organisation encapsulate how we work with international partners to catalyse change.
Protecting animals in the wild world for animals During the year the unacceptable pain and suffering inflicted upon the world’s wildlife was flung into the spotlight through the horrific hunting and killing of Cecil the lion.
We responded quickly and authoritatively to condemn the tourist this year entertainments that are killing our precious wild animals. Hundreds of thousands of outraged people and many travel companies were moved to support our Wildlife – Not entertainers campaign.
Protecting animals in disasters We pride ourselves on giving hands-on help to animals when natural disasters turn their worlds upside down. We responded to 12 different disasters in 10 countries during 2015, including Vanuatu after Cyclone Pam devastated the island nation in March. Here our team saved animals from injury, disease and starvation and brought hope to their distraught owners.

But they cannot thrive when their natural habitat is taken away World Animal Protection from them or when they are captured or hunted. Very few of us are taking responsibility for correcting this imbalance… Against us wild animals have very little defence.”
“In Africa and elsewhere you will have desperately poor people offered money to capture or poach wild animals. They do this to help feed their families. Many of us might do this in the same situation, but a rhino can be worth more to them alive than dead, through sustainable tourism. We have to work with people to bring about this understanding. It needs to be a joint effort to give people and animals a win-win outcome,” says Steve.
