WSPA fights both against animal cruelty in general and campaigns separately against specific types of cruel and inhumane treatment, such as bullfighting, bear baiting, whaling, captive dolphin keeping, and intensive animal husbandry.
The WSPA is known for campaigns to protect bears, one of which is Libearty, started in 1992.
