The RSPCA, WSPA (the World Society for the Protection of Animals) and
America's largest welfare organisation, the Humane Society, and other
groups from 140 countries, are working together in a unique global campaign
to get recognition for animal welfare at the United Nations. The 'Animals
matter to me' campaign is calling for the U.N. to adopt a universal
declaration on animal welfare, similar to earlier initiatives for human
rights. The campaign wants 10 million signatures on their petition. Five
U.N. member states (Costa Rica, Kenya, India, the Czech Republic and the
Philippines) have formed a steering group to take the initiative to the
U.N. .
