Thai Society For The Protection Of Cruelty To Animals
The TSPCA states that Thailand has often been perceived as a country without sufficient protection of animal welfare. Animals are often maltreated in zoos, farms or domestic captivity. The objectives of the society are the following
- To instil in young people and the wider general public, a better understanding of animal needs and rights - encouraging a culture of kindness, care and understanding.
- To provide education, accurate information, guidance and advice on animal care requirements.
- To campaign in the prevention of cruelty to animals, and for improved legislation for their protection.
- To work in collaboration, with other organisations, governmental and private, in Thailand, or internationally, in the achievement of similar aims.
- To support first-hand animal 'carers' in their collective or individual work."

Famous quotes containing the words society, protection, cruelty and/or animals:
“If we would enjoy the most intimate society with that in each of us which is without, or above, being spoken to, we must not only be silent, but commonly so far apart bodily that we cannot possibly hear each other’s voice in any case. Referred to this standard, speech is for the convenience of those who are hard of hearing; but there are many fine things which we cannot say if we have to shout.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We all cry out that the world is corrupt,—and I fear too justly,—but we never reflect, what we have to thank for it, and that it is our open countenance of vice, which gives the lye to our private censures of it, which is its chief protection and encouragement.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn’t really hurt.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“It isn’t true that convicts live like animals: animals have more room to move around.”
—Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936)
