OIPA Onlus

OIPA - International Organization for Animal Protection - is a global NGO committed to defending animal rights and dedicated to the protection of animals from cruelty, abuse and exploitation worldwide.

OIPA is dedicated to creating a world free from cruelty. Our mission is to promote the respect and protection of all animals, regardless of species, and to work towards a world where animals are treated with kindness and compassion.

We actively engage in national and international initiatives to address a wide range of animal welfare issues, including:

• Caring for Animals in Need: OIPA rescues, rehabilitates, and provides care for injured, sick, and abandoned animals. We also support stray animals and provide assistance to those in shelters and sanctuaries.
• Ending Animal Cruelty and Exploitation: We advocate for the abolition of fur farming, intensive livestock practices, and animal testing. We work to improve the living conditions of animals.
• Protecting Wildlife: We fight against hunting, wildlife trade, and the confinement of animals in zoos and aquariums.
• Educating and Advocating: We organize educational programs to raise awareness and empower individuals to take action, promoting ethical treatment of animals. We participate in protests, demonstrations, and legal actions to advance animal rights legislation and policies.

By combining direct action, advocacy, and education, OIPA strives to build a compassionate and sustainable future for all animals.

OIPA's headquarters in Italy oversees operations across over 110 provinces, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and authorized animal control officers. These volunteers respond to reports of animal cruelty and abuse from citizens.

OIPA's global network empowers volunteers worldwide to address local animal welfare issues. Through collaborations with our member associations in various countries, we can have a significant impact on countless animals worldwide.
