Notas del editor
- Grateful for opportunity to speak about whale welfare and the ethics of whaling at this extremely important, progressive and productive meeting. A short introduction – who is WSPA? The world’s largest federation of animal welfare societies, with over 800 member societies in more than 147 countries. 12 offices worldwide and over 500,000 Supporters around the world. The WSPA has consultative status at both the United Nations and the Council of Europe. What does the WSPA believe? WSPA is an animal welfare organisation, not animal rights. We believe that: Animals have biologically determined instincts and needs and can experience both pain and suffering Animals should be permitted to live their lives free from avoidable suffering at the hands of humans Unnecessary animal suffering should be prevented Opposed to the killing of animals when it can be proven that it is inhumane – this is why we are here today and opposed to whaling WSPA’s vision is ‘a world where animal welfare matters and animal cruelty ends’. Our Mission is to work with governments, stakeholders and the public across the world to ‘build a united global animal welfare movement’.
