World Animal Protection Advocates for Animal Rights
World Animal Protection is speaking up for animals.
They are worried about how animals are treated in farms, traded as pets, and used for entertainment.
They talked about these issues at big meetings like COP 30 and CITES.
They also asked the Indian Prime Minister to stop elephant rides.
On December 10, which is both Human Rights Day and International Animal Rights Day, they remind everyone that animals and humans should be treated with kindness and respect.
Some companies have promised to promote responsible wildlife tourism.
The group hopes more people and companies will join in to protect animals.
World Animal Protection highlighted animal abuse and environmental damage caused by industrial animal agriculture at COP 30.
The organization emphasized the need to stop the global wildlife trade, citing seizures of exotic pets and cruel conditions.
Wild animals in entertainment, such as elephant rides and tiger photo opportunities, were criticized for their abusive practices.
Several tour companies pledged to promote responsible wildlife tourism, encouraged by World Animal Protection.
On December 10, 2025, World Animal Protection marked both Human Rights Day and International Animal Rights Day, advocating for the respect and protection of all sentient beings.
