No. Our focus is on wildlife issues and on industrialised animal cruelty issues – i.e. animal abuse that happens on a large scale, often ‘behind the scenes’.
There are several other organisations in Singapore working on companion animal issues. Therefore, ACRES concentrates our efforts on other important issues such as wildlife protection and rescue, zoo animal welfare and promoting cruelty-free living.
