RSPCA momentopname
Our mission is to ensure that animals have a good life by rescuing and caring for those in need, by advocating on behalf of all animals and by inspiring everyone to treat them with compassion and respect.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), founded in 1824, was the first animal protection organization in the world. Its influence has spread far beyond the UK to the establishment of similar organizations, such as the ASPCA in the US and the RSPCA in Australia. The organization manages about 30 clinics and more than 50 animal centers, as well as a handful of wildlife centers. It has a network of nearly 200 branches in England and Wales that operate under the RSPCA banner. In addition to these operations, the group supports legislation and campaigns that focus on animal welfare issues. Queen Victoria became the first British monarch to serve as the society's royal patron in 1840.
