WSPA’s annual Red Collar Campaign, which launched last year, calls for a halt to the culling of millions of dogs a year, mainly because of our fear of rabies. It’s needless, cruel and ineffective.
Mass dog vaccination is the only proven humane and sustainable solution to controlling rabies in both dogs and humans. We’re working with governments and communities to make this a reality - saving millions of dogs and human lives.
This year our campaign is focussing on the Asia Pacific region with the launch of an innovative partnership with the Bangladesh Government to introduce a National Rabies Action Plan and rolling out programmes in Indonesia and Philippines in partnership with GARC and national governments.
In Latin America, which has been leading the way in developing a humane approach to tackling rabies we will be promoting their successes and also working with countries in the region where rabies is still an issues.
We have also been carrying out research in Africa to identify countries where rabies is still prevalent and will be running pilot schemes there from 2013.

WSPA the world’s leading animal welfare charity, works tirelessly to end animal cruelty. We passionately believe that animal welfare matters.
We believe animal cruelty must end - whether that’s cruelty against animals in the wild, living in the community, caught up in a disaster or being farmed.
We put animal welfare on the global agenda and show that what’s good for animals is good for the world.
WSPA is the only international organisation with full time, trained staff, who provide an immediate and global response for animals in disasters; whether that’s responding to disasters such as the earthquake in Haiti or Tsunami in Japan. We also help communities take working animals and pets into account when preparing for a disaster.
We run global campaigns that seek to improve the lives of billions of animals. For example, our Red Collar Campaign calls for a halt to the culling of 20 million dogs a year, mainly in response to a fear of rabies.
We have been around since 1981. We are active in more than 50 countries in Asia Pacific, Latin America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East and hold special consultative status at the UN and the Council of Europe.
