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:
“Is it impossible not to wonder why a movement which professes concern for the fate of all women has dealt so unkindly, contemptuously, so destructively, with so significant a portion of its sisterhood. Can it be that those who would reorder society perceive as the greater threat not the chauvinism of men or the pernicious attitudes of our culture, but rather the impulse to mother within women themselves?”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think.... This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.”
—René Daumal (1908–1944)
