Welcome to CATCA

CATCA has been working since 1989 to stop animal cruelty around the world, creating their own Campaigns or supporting national and international campaigns. CATCA also provides education and information, specially among children & teenager students.

We have had all sort of campaigns, that range from local "blood fiestas" in different small towns all over Spain,"farra do boi" and "farrinhas"(torture of bulls/calves or donkeys for days in Brazil), bullfights, circuses, animals in laboratories, industrial farms, rodeos, fur industry, seal hunt (Canada, Russia and South Africa), whaling, zoos and aquarios, Taiji/Futo annual dolphin slaughter, elephants and rhino poaching, illegal trade of wild animals, dissection, vivisection, animal transportation, bear bile farms, bear baitings, Faroe islands whale slaughter, bush meat, campaigns for animal welfare, to promote sterilization for pets, for conservation and more.

CATCA last year had three seal tours at the European Union lobbying at the Ministries of Environment and Agriculture, Parliaments, the European Commission and the European Parliaments for the seals. Since 2005, CATCA has been involved in "high level lobbying" with most of the European Union Countries, but specially with Ireland, Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Since that time we also have been lobbying with Hungary, Holland, Belgium and Latvia. From last year with Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, UK, Luxembourg, Estonia, Lituania, France, Greece and by e-mail with Cyprus and Malta.

These three lobbying tours and CATCA's ongoing campaign for the seals in Europe (from January 2nd, 2008), have been possible thanks to the kind contribuitions of local or provincial anti seal hunt colleagues in Canada and colleagues in Ireland, Poland and the US. This was posible also thanks to the few people who kindly donated whatever they could, to help us pay for the airfare and hostels in Europe. Big international organizations didn't help us at all.

None of our accomplishments would be possible without the generous financial support of compassionate individuals such as yourself. All of the handouts, material, newsletters for our informative tables, events and other projects are provided to the public free of charge. We need your support urgently in order to continue making this important educative and informative labour available. Please, help us to help the animals by providing a donation.

The animals need your support!
