In New Zealand, Paw Justice and the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) both work to ensure animals receive the best care. Paw Justice is a charitable organisation that receives no government funding. Funded in 2009, they continuously fight the abuse and neglect against pets in New Zealand by aiming to see abuse rates drop, pushing for serious offenders to be imprisoned and educating children to respect and care for four-legged companions. 
The SPCA have been 'a voice for animal welfare for over 127 years' working hard to improve the lives of animals. In Auckland alone, they care for 16,000-18,000 animals that have been lost, abandoned, injured or abused every year at their Animal Village in Mangere. They rescue thousands of animals from harmful situations, attend dozens of animal emergencies and investigate the thousands of complaints about animal cruelty. They too provide education programmes to 'teach compassion and responsible behaviour towards animals'.The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) exist to tackle animal cruelty across the globe, campaigning to bring lasting change by: helping people understand the critical importance of good animal welfare, encouraging nations to commit to animal-friendly practices and building scientific cases for the better treatment of animals. Their help for animals has no boundaries and as seen in the video clip below, they tirelessly work hard to ensure innocent animals are released from captivity into safe environments where they are able to thrive and live peacefully.
