The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) is a charitable organization dedicated to preventing animal cruelty and promoting animal welfare. It rescues and cares for mistreated or abandoned animals, investigates cases of cruelty, and works to improve laws protecting animals. The RSPCA also advocates for responsible pet ownership and educates the public about humane treatment. Founded in 1824, it operates through inspections, sheltering, animal adoptions, and campaigns, striving to ensure that animals are treated compassionately and with respect across society.
