The RSPCA
Founded in 1824, the RSPCA is the world’s oldest animal welfare organization. We work to promote kindness and to prevent cruelty to animals within all lawful means throughout England and Wales. Every year we find new homes for about 80,000 animals, we treat over 200,000 sick animals ranging from hedgehogs to horses, and we investigate over 100,000 complaints of cruelty.
We also work for the welfare of animals in the wild, such as whales and badgers. We are the world experts at cleaning and rehabilitating birds that have been damaged in oil spills. Every year nearly 3 million animals are used in research laboratories, and we oppose all experiments that cause pain and suffering.
We work with both government and the farming industry to promote humane methods in the rearing of farm animals. Intensive farming methods can cause many animal welfare problems.
The society is a charity, and receives no aid from the government. Our running costs amount to £ 38 million a year.
