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."
