    Over the next four years, we will be tackling one of thebiggest threats to marine wildlife: ghost fishing gear.Discarded, lost and abandoned nets, ropes, pots andtraps kill hundreds of thousands of seals, sea lions andlarge whales every year and more than 700,000 birds.The devastating short-term and long-term suffering

    caused by ghost gear is at the centre of our Sea Changecampaign. With your help, well be working hard to shareresearch and successes, develop new ideas and solutions,target hotspots and expand projects that are alreadysuccessfully dealing with the issue.

    Vital to this is the launch of the Global Ghost GearInitiative (GGGI), the first world-wide alliance ofgovernments, non-governmental organizations andbusinesses dedicated to tackling this problem.

    In September, our oceans campaigners helped animals

    in a very practical way by joining new local partners,the Hawaii Wildlife Fund, in a mission to remove ahuge volume of nets washed up on the beaches by arecent hurricane.

    We are creating powerful relationships and putting yoursupport towards the change our oceans need now.

    Libearty saves Andi the bear

    This two-year old bear almost got his paw caught in the honeyjar for the last time! He was frequently stealing food from ahotel and houses in Kronstadt, Romania when our local partner

    Milioane de Prieteni Millions of Friends (AMP) steppedin. In such human-wildlife conflict situations in Romania, thebear is usually shot. Your support meant that AMP could makean appeal to the Ministry of the Environment and the forestadministration to move Andi to their sanctuary. While Andi hasmade off with his last sack of potatoes, hes now safe from harm.

    Through our research, we have identified the most popular and cruel forms of wildanimal entertainment. One growing example is riding on the backs of elephants.

    Nearly 30% of the worlds Asian elephants have been taken from their naturalhabitats and with spirits broken, surrender to a lifetime of captivity. We want otheranimal lovers, like you, to learn the truth before they book their excursions. Withyour help, we will engage tourists across the world to educate them on the realityof animal entertainment.

    There is hope. Research shows that 82% of Canadians think wild animals belong inthe wild and an even higher percentage think tour operators should avoid causingsuffering. We want compassionate tourists to know the truth.

    You can spread the word about Before They Book, our global campaign bysharing the video and empowering your friends and family to make animalfriendly travel plans.

    Take a load off their backs

    Ladies wear the pants.Elephants live in

    complex matriarch-ledfamily groups.

    Dont be fooled bytheir size! Elephants did

    not evolve to carry weighton their backs. In fact, antscan handle heavier loadsproportional to their size

    and body mass.

    Elephants remembereverything. Years later,they can recall where

    reliable water sources canbe found in droughts.

    Every year, thousands of

    tourists unknowingly bookvacation activities that causeextreme suffering to the very

    animals they dream of seeing.From elephant rides toswim-with-dolphin programs,the use of wild animals forentertainment has become part oftoo many holiday experiences.

    Recently, our Communications Director, Beth Sharpe, hadthe opportunity to visit one of our vaccination sites in Cainta,

    a bustling part of Metro Manila in the Philippines.Here, she shares some short highlights from her visit:

    When I first pulled up to the community centre things were already in full swing.We have been working with our partners, Global Alliance for Rabies Control(GARC), to offer vaccination programs like this throughout the region and by nowits a well-oiled machine.

    It was early in the morning but community health workers, in green, were alreadyorganizing the hundreds of people and barking dogs into orderly rows to seethe vets. I took the chance to chat with some of the people who were there

    protecting the animals they love.

    Donna and her Zorro

    Twenty-five-year old Donna is a cook in a local restaurant and totally devoted toZorro. She told me: I love Zorro. He lives in my room even though it makes my mommad. Im here to protect him, to make sure he is healthy; he is like a first son to me.

    Denita and GemaDenita told me that she lives by herself, but is never lonely because of her dogs,Gema, Jackie, White and Brownie. Holding Gema closely in her arms she

    told me that she was planning on bringing each dog individually to the clinicthroughout the morning. Bless you all for coming, she said with a gentle smile.

    I could hardly believe it but by early afternoon the crowd had disappeared andeverything was done. Watching our vets and local partners help hundreds ofanimals in just a matter of hours was truly inspiring. Ive never seen so directlythe power of what our donors can do. Your support makes everything possible.Thank you.

    I have had up to 100 hensbutcurrently I have 45 laying hens

    Jai dj eu jusqu 100 poulepondeuses, mais jen ai 45 ence moment

    I have hand-washedand sold 57,063fresh brown eggs!

    Jai lav et vendu57,063 ufsbruns frais!

    When my parents moved their business up to a 200 acre hobby farm in GreyBruce County, I was able to get my first animals. In exchange for letting him usesome of our land, a local farmer named John gave me a rooster and a hen.Once a day, I would go out with a basket to collect her egg. I asked my dad ifI could have some more chickens because they were amazing and fascinatinganimals. I bid on 17 beautiful Rhode Island Reds at a local livestock auction andwon! At this point, I was getting between 16-18 eggs a day.

    To me, good animal welfare means that the animal is well-fed, healthy and happyto be alive. It means that the animal has access to proper nutrition, humane

    handling and loving care. The animals must have appropriate shelter from thecold and feel safe from predators. Animals should be treated like humans want tobe treated. The mistreatment of any animal can show in its product. For instance,if I let my chickens food and fresh water run out, their egg production decreasesand the egg shells are not as smooth, dark brown and pretty. The comment I mosthear is just how good my eggs taste and that makes me happy.

    Quand mes parents ont dcid dexploiter une petite ferme de 200 acres, dansle comt de Grey Bruce, jai pu avoir mes premiers animaux. On avait permis

    John, un agriculteur du coin, de travailler une partie de notre terre, et en change,il ma offert un coq et une poule. Une fois par jour, jallais ramasser les ufs avecun panier. Un jour, jai demand mon pre si je pouvais avoir dautres poules :je les trouve incroyablement fascinantes. A la vente aux enchres de btail localejai mis sur 17 belles Rhode Island Reds et je les ai remportes! cette poque,je rcoltais de 16 18 ufs par jour.

    Pour moi, le bien-tre des animaux cest que lanimal soit bien nourri, en santet content dtre en vie. a veut dire quil a accs une bonne alimentation,quil est trait avec respect et quil est bien soign. Les animaux ont besoin dun

    bon abri contre le froid et de se sentir protgs des prdateurs. Il faut traiter lesanimaux comme on aime nous-mmes se faire traiter. Les mauvais traitements un animal se refltent dans ce quil produit. Par exemple, si je laisse mes poulesmanquer deau et de nourriture, leur production dufs diminue et la coquillenest plus aussi lisse, aussi fonce ou aussi belle. Ce quon me dit le plus souventcest que mes ufs sont vraiment bons, et a me fait plaisir!

    Last year, Michael attended the Estate Planning Seminar we held

    in Toronto, and, afterwards, notified us that he has left a bequestin his will for World Animal Protection.

    As I began to plan for retirement, I simultaneously began todevelop concrete plans and reflected upon ideas with regardto estate planning, plans which could parlay the efforts I havebeen involved with throughout my life. I feel that even the smallest

    of changes contribute to a new perspective with regard to the

    rights of animals and humanitys treatment of them. I believe weare where we are today in regard to our protection of animalsbecause of the work and contribution of others, often anonymousin the past, who have recognized the stature and dignity thatanimals deserve.

    Our legacy as is the case also with our volunteerism, lifestyle,and consumer habits throughout our lives - is our vote for thetype of world we want to leave. Our legacy is a powerful toolto make the world a more compassionate and just reality, foranimals and for people.

    5:30 amMy wife Grace, mydaughter Maria and I awaken tonoisy birds in Maharaka, where we

    have lived all our lives. We farmmaize, tomatoes and vegetablesand live mostly off the land.

    7:30 amToday, well be very busy.Its time to work on the chilli fencearound my farm. We started doingthis four months ago with the help ofWorld Animal Protection.

    8:30 amWe meet our friendsand fellow farmers in the village.We share the same concerns ofelephants eating our crops.

    12:30 pmThe messy job of mixingthe chilli recipe is done. Before theproject, we were losing our maizeand tomato crops to the elephants

    every few days and I was running outof food and money to feed my family.

    5:00 pmWe pick up Maria andhear that several children werent atschool because their parents hadto keep them home to work on thefarm and defend the crops from wildanimals. Im so glad we dont haveto fear elephant raids anymore.

    6:00 pmAfter my wife preparesdinner, we play and talk withMaria and our house is filled with awarm glow.

    8:00 pmWe doze off to thesounds of owls, bats and cricketsthat surround our village. Thankfullyit will be a worry-free night for meand Grace. We know the chillifences will keep our crops safe.

    Day in the lifeof Vitus PangoIn our last issue, we shared how your support helpedshow Tanzanian farmers how to humanely keephungry elephants from devastating their crops withchilli-and-beehive fences. Here, meet Vitus Pango, afarmer living on the border of Mikumi National Park.

    Thank you for everything you are doing to make this project possible.Were working hard with our local partnerto make sure that the chilli fences will soon be used by all of the farmers surrounding Mikumi National Park tokeep elephants and people safe from harm.

    Looking forward

    Vitus Pango knowshis crops are saferfrom elephantsthan they haveever been beforethanks to the chillifence project.
