The Society in Jordan is a branch of the
Society for the Protection of Animals World Wide, SPANA,
which is a British Charity founded in 1923, based in London,
but with operations in Morocco, Tunisia, Mali, Algeria and
Syria. The Society aims to promote welfare, good husbandry
and the prevention of cruelty to animals. It provides first aid
for working animals especially horses, donkeys and mules
that are owned by the farmers in the poor rural areas. The
health of these animals is of great importance to the owners
and to the sustainability of the local economy in outlying
areas. SPANA encourages a love of animals and teaches up to
date methods of animal husbandry and good care of animals;
it aims to enhance positive attitudes in dealing with and
caring for animals, as these creatures play an important
role in our societies and in preserving the environmental
balance on earth. Animals need to be treated with respect,
as they exist in societies and nations just as do humans .
