WSPA's advertising free of animal exploitation

I think it should be mentioned in the article, that WSPA has advertisements that don't use graphic footage of animal abuse, or abused animals to get their funding. This is unlike ads by the ASPCA for example, which try to get funding by showing images of abused animals, typically dogs and cats, in cages or being rescued from missions. I find it rather hypocritical of a foundation claiming to be against the exploitation of animals, exploiting their own animals to gain charity. So I feel people should know that WSPA does not do that, which I find to be very respectable. Violet yoshi (talk) 08:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WSPA does use graphic footage, at least in WSPA Denmark. You can see the images on their website or from their TV ads http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf56Gqmivvs Tommi (talk) 12:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:LogoWSPA.gif

Image:LogoWSPA.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Cruel treatment

I view WSPA's neutering of stray animals as cruel treatment i wouldn't like it and i bet if cats and dogs could talk they wouldn't want it either. Sparkler99 (talk) 13:41, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your brilliant insight on the matter. The reason cats and dogs get spayed/neutered is that 2.7 million are euthanized every year in the US alone. While I'm sure getting your balls chopped off or your ovaries removed isn't the world's greatest experience, it's probably better than living your last days alone in a shelter and then getting killed.

Or more importantly having kittens and puppies that go feral and starve to death because they breed faster than adoption rates. --Roguebfl (talk) 05:22, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are better ways to prevent animals from breeding than neutering, such as with drugs, but I wouldn't consider it cruel. Alex of Canada (talk) 21:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Associations

Does it have associations with the various nations SPCAs? or PETA? etc... --Roguebfl (talk) 21:56, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They don't appear to be associated directly with ether group. They have a link to PETA in one pdf but nothing that needs mention in the article.Donhoraldo (talk) 01:34, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
