ABOUT SPCA
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) was first formed by a group of volunteers in 1903 and became active in 1921.
Although SPCA is the first charity in Hong Kong to deal with all aspects of animal welfare, the organization obtains around only 1% of the funding from the government. The rest of the funding comes from the generosity of the general public. It is a constant challenge to raise the funds necessary to continue their animal rescue work.
SPCA believes that animals are living creatures which like humans, are able to feel pain, hunger and thirst. One should not inflict any suffering upon our fellow creatures just because they can't speak.
