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."

“A society which allows an abominable event to burgeon from its dungheap and grow on its surface is like a man who lets a fly crawl unheeded across his face or saliva dribble unstemmed from his mouth—either epileptic or dead.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Guns have metamorphosed into cameras in this earnest comedy, the ecology safari, because nature has ceased to be what it always had been—what people needed protection from. Now nature tamed, endangered, mortal—needs to be protected from people.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“If Americans could understand what a painful, searing experience it is when Negro children first begin to realize that the mere color of their skin is to be the source of a lifelong discrimination, it might do more to end our cruelty toward the Negro than all the preaching on justice and equality.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“To err is human also in so far as animals seldom or never err, or at least only the cleverest of them do so.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
