The animals are often shot by farmers, injured on roads or abandoned as pets once their entertainment value has worn off. Others are illegally captured for sale to the pharmaceutical industry and confiscated by the authorities. We also provide refuge for animals released from laboratories - subjected to numerous experiments these animals have been contained in lab cages barely large enough to allow the animal to turn around, resulting in poor development or atrophy of the muscles.

Trustees elected by the members administer the trust.
Whatever happens to the beasts soon happens to man - all things are connected. W.A.G. will promote the reforging of spiritual empathy for wild animals, and encourage all humans to treat them with the compassion they deserve. Sustainable use' is a one-way ticket to extinction. W.A.G. will endeavour to ensure that wild animals remain truly protected in their natural environments. They actively campaign against the continuing cruel exploitation of wild animals and endeavour to change attitudes through education, debate, consultation, protest and any other legal means necessary to achieve this objective.
