WELFARE
RARE engages and operates in society at many different levels. While we are on a constant watchout for any acts of animal abuse and work tirelessly to maintain and improve welfare of animals, we also emphasise on the importance of appreciating and encouraging caretakers, mahouts, custodians, individuals and organisations who genuinely care for the welfare of animals.
Through relationships built via many of our welfare projects we hope to cultivate principles of "value to life" and "equal rights to all sentient beings".
