 | | Rabies, though preventable, kills 55,000 people and countless dogs every year. In many countries, governments respond by shooting or poisoning dogs, a grossly inhumane and hopelessly ineffective method of disease control. On September 28, WSPA will be raising awareness about humane solutions. | |  | | Four sloth bears, including a cub, were rescued from a life spent ‘dancing' by authorities in Nepal last week, acting on information provided by WSPA member society the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI). | |  | | WSPA staff and volunteers surveyed almost 200 individual grocery stores throughout the US to assess the availability of animal friendly foods on their shelves. Find out how your store ranked and what you can do to make more humane products available in the stores where you shop. | |  | | Right now a small pony in rural Cambodia is struggling to carry a heavy load strapped to his already fragile back. Beneath the burdensome cargo the sharp outline of his spine and protruding ribs are shockingly visible. With your support, ponies like him can be saved. | | | | | | |
