The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was first formed by a group of volunteers in 1903 and became active in 1921.
Although we are the first charity in Hong Kong to deal with all aspects of animal welfare, we obtain around only 1% of our funding from the government. The rest of our funding comes from the generosity of the general public, for which we are extremely grateful. It is a constant challenge to raise the funds necessary to continue our work.
We believe that animals are living creatures which like humans, are able to feel pain, hunger, and thirst. We should not inflict any suffering upon our fellow creatures just because they can't speak.
Our Mission
"To promote kindness to animals, to protect their health and welfare, to prevent cruelty and through education, to inspire in the community a deep respect for life so that all living creatures may live together in harmony."
Our Aims
"To promote kindness and to confront and prevent cruelty to animals."
