People Power
ACTAsia for Animals is a UK charity set up by experienced animal protectionists after witnessing the huge amount of animal suffering in Asia in combination with a lack of animal advocates who can speak out for them.
There are people who care deeply about animals in these countries, and they work day and night for these animals. But they are lone voices speaking out against abuse. They do not have any support from their families, from the public, from the government, from the media. The lack of experience and knowledge on how to fight animal suffering, makes it even harder.
Force for the Future
It is our conviction that the only way to move forward is to support these individuals and groups at the scene. They are the people who need the skills and tools to fight the growing abuse of animals in their country; professional people who can campaign for proper animal welfare legislation where there’s none, educate the public about respect for animal life where there’s ignorance, publicise animal cruelty where there’s lack of awareness and rescue, where there are animals in need. This requires a long-term investment, but will help animals in a lasting way…..even after we have gone.
