I will tell you what went wrong, seeing as you ask.I along with my children, cry when we saw the add, is it really necessary to show footage of atrocities happening to sweet animals, especially at Christmas or any time of the year.Surely there is a better way.
They are doing scam they will ask for donations and than they will tell you you will get certificate of 80g but I got nothing don't know where I am donating my money.
I see reviews here on Trustpilot about this organization and find it strange that bad reviews are given or that WAP is a scam. I have been a member for several years now by literally donating €3 ONCE to help farmed animals and €8/month to help elephants being taken care of and support a sanctuary. I have never been pressed or cheated nor scammed with anything. They do as they say. Their rating on Charitynavigator is 98% and when you research into what percentage of your money goes where, almost 80% goes directly to the cause you signed up for and most of the rest to help fundraise more and gain more exposure, highlighting the suffering of animals. Even back when I was donating only €3, I got a WAP linen bag as a "Thank you" gift. The year after, I got a WAP calendar as a thank you gift. So, I have no idea what these people here are on about and am writing this detailed review so that people don't scare away from this organization and as a result decide not to help animals in desperate need.
I got conned into providing my Card details on Fri 4 April. I was offered the choice of amount to donate which was $1...I thought it rather odd amount but did not question it. I did not feel good about signing up to donate. On Tues 8 April I had a msg on my answering machine which came from this Organisation. The caller named David thanked me for signing up and that $30.00 will be deducted monthly starting from May. I did not sign up to donate that amount. It was for $1.00 as suggested by the Volunteer manning the booth at the Riverlink Shopping Centre, Ipswich, Qld. It is an unconscionable act of deception on the part of a Charity.
Unlike other reviewers here I have done some research and checked that this charity has a long record of good work in a number of areas. It would be useful to see ratings of their impact, but based on their reputation my estimate is that they’re trustworthy.See their rating here on a charities reviewers.

Scam organization
This is a review about the review of World animal protection. So when you’re looking up to see whether your money is well spent of your donations instead all we get is reviews about working there. I for one don’t really care about what it’s like to work there I want a review on whether they actually do the right thing with your donations
Joined this 'charity's' weekly lottery. Won a small prize (£5) after a few weeks. I got an email telling me that they have given me 5 entries into the next draw instead of sending me the £5. When I complained that I wasn't given the choice they asked if I wanted to change my 'preferences' for the future. I was never given a choice of preferences to begin with. In my opinion this is a con. Leave well alone !!
This organisation is doubtful as I see it and believe and as I remember it have had different names. Such organisations can collect millions and only support 1 or 2 project. The rest of the money can easily goes to the people behind. I suggest you to research and support trusted organisations instead.
