SPCA CHARITY
Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
The spca charity is a charity that helps the prevention of cruelty and ill treatment of thousands of animals.
I like this charity because i like all animals and there are people out there who constantly abuse animals so its good to see there are Animal Welfare Acts that give Spca inspectors the power to investigate and prosecute when they need too. The society consists of 41 animal shelters around New Zealand including many in rural areas.
The spca charity also campaigns against livestock and entertainment animals that are also mistreated out on farms such as cows, battery operated hens and pigs. They also look into rodeo at places such as the Auckland easter show.
They take interest in domesticated animals as well such as the dogs who have their tails docked for cosmetic purposes which makes unnecessary pain for the animal.
List of shame is a recurring campaign showing the worst cases of animal abuse in New Zealand and its designed to bring public awareness to the abuse of animals and to alert the public to keep an eye on animal cruelty and domestic family violence.
The spca receives almost no funding from government agencies so heavily relies on its campaigns and programmes and donations for its income.
Kia ora Hilton,
ReplyDeleteHow are you today? I hope you're having a great holiday! Have you been up to anything special over the christmas and new year break?
You've included lots of really good information about the SPCA, ka pai! They do so much important work for our animals, and I learnt even more about what they do from your post. I didn't realise that they also campaign against livestock and entertainment animals!
Do you have any pets, Hilton? I have a cat called Oscar and a dog called Tess :)
Next time maybe you could include some colour or images? That would definitely make your post stand out more!
Keep up the great work,
Tayla
