Top international singer Leona Lewis is backing the World Society for the Protection of Animals in a new campaign video.
Leona pledged her support for the charity’s Universal Declaration for Animal Welfare campaign at a video and photo shoot at the Sony Music studios in Kensington. She was joined by her family dog Misty for the photo shoot.
Speaking about her support for WSPA, Leona said: “I wanted to get involved with the World Society for the Protection of Animals because I think they are doing great campaigns. I’ve always been a huge advocate for any charities that are trying to help animals, because they are trying to change laws to protect animals – which I think is amazing.”
“I support the World Society for the Protection of Animals – WSPA – because they are trying to end some of the most appalling acts of animal cruelty in the world.”
She summed up her belief in the UDAW campaign: "One reason animals are so vulnerable to cruelty is because there is no universal agreement between nations that animals can suffer and feel pain… The campaign for a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare could be the beginning of the end for animal cruelty across the world.
“It’s up to us to give these animals a voice, and put a stop to cruelty and neglect, right now.”
Leona calls on her supporters to join her in backing the Animals Matter campaign. Go to wspa.org.uk/leonalewis to join in and pledge your support.
