A special ‘Thank You' from Ben, Country Director

You helped achieve significant victories for animals in Aotearoa and around the world this year. Thank you for your warm-hearted support. 

Here's a special message from Ben, who'd like to share some stories of the many animals you helped in 2024:

From helping rescue young long-tailed macaques from the inherently cruel ‘Dancing Monkeys’ trade, to helping feed and care for hundreds of previously exploited animals around the world – you’ve done it all and more.

I hope you know your support is the cornerstone of World Animal Protection, and every single one of these animals is living better, happier lives because of you.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment towards giving every animal a life worth living.
