Dear Friend,

As humans from around the world gather to show off their talents and compete for the gold, we are left wondering how animals would do in a competition of skill and agility... could humans compete with the best animal athletes?

From lightning-fast sprinters and swimmers to impressive rock climbers and free-divers, the animal kingdom boasts some of the most remarkable athletes on the planet.

Do you think you have what it takes to compete against the top animal athletes? It’s time to find out...

Animals are amazing, sentient beings that deserve our respect and protection. As a World Animal Protection supporter, you know that. You also know that animals face so many challenges, it feels impossible to make a difference.

But together, we can change the world for animals. Every small change and every thoughtful choice can make a huge difference to the lives of animals, to your health, and to the future of our one precious planet.

How much do you know about zoonotic diseases? Do you know what they are, how they are transmitted, and how you can protect yourself? If you are unsure about any of those questions, fear not – we've put together a comprehensive guide to zoonoses!

Do you remember learning about Canada’s Food Guide in school? The colourful rainbow of healthy foods? This guide has been around for many years and many iterations, but the underlying mission of the guide has always remained the same – to serve as an educational tool to help people choose a healthy diet and to promote nutritional well-being.

Learn more about Canada’s Food Guide and how we are urging the Government of Canada to support healthier, more sustainable eating habits for all Canadians.

Summer has arrived! For many, this means sunshine, free time and fun. But for thousands of captive wild animals in roadside zoos, it’s another summer of suffering.

The issue of roadside zoos in Ontario is particularly pressing due to the lack of provincial regulations. These facilities often keep animals in poor conditions, without proper care or enrichment.

We know you care deeply about these animals, even if you don't live in Ontario. Your support helps us continue our advocacy and public awareness efforts. By staying informed and spreading the word, you contribute to the progress we're making.
