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:
“As some heads cannot carry much wine, so it would seem that I cannot bear so much society as you can. I have an immense appetite for solitude, like an infant for sleep, and if I don’t get enough of it this year, I shall cry all the next.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The best protection parents can have against the nightmare of a daycare arrangement where someone might hurt their child is to choose a place that encourages parents to drop in at any time and that facilitates communication among parents using the program. If parents are free to drop in and if they exercise this right, it is not likely that adults in that place are behaving in ways that harm children.”
—Gwen Morgan (20th century)
“It is cruelty to children to keep five-year-olds sitting still, gazing into vacancy even for one hour at a time. We have little idea of the torture we thus inflict.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion.... Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat’s meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, quite intelligent enough.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
