Humane World for Animals is a current animal-welfare NGO pushing policy reforms and rescues. It has recently led or supported a Vietnam cat-trafficking bust and rescue drive in Ho Chi Minh City, highlighting its on-the-ground influence in combatting pet theft and abuse.
Rescuers have freed more than 400 cats in Ho Chi Minh City after a multiday operation. Dozens died due to harsh conditions; hundreds more were seized from a cat meat crime ring. Officials say the sting underscores the scale of Vietnam’s cat meat trade and the need for stronger protections for pets.
