The RSPCA today released its submission to the independent panel advising the Federal Government on how to implement a live sheep export phase out, calling for a swift and orderly phase out with a timeframe of no longer than three years.

The RSPCA welcomed news today that state and territory agriculture ministers have endorsed new national Poultry Standards and Guidelines – paving the way for a long-overdue phase out of barren battery cages – but said it was disappointing there is still no certainty on a timeframe for Australia’s millions of layer hens.

The RSPCA has reiterated its strong support for a long-overdue phase out of barren battery cages – following an unprecedented rise in disinformation from cage egg advocates.

RSPCA was made aware this week of ASIC's concerns about pet insurance products issued by The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd and PetSure (Australia) Pty Ltd (the insurers) offered via a number of brands, including RSPCA Pet Insurance.

New research confirms more than 7 in 10 Western Australians still want the cruel and unnecessary live sheep export trade to end.

On Sunday 28 May, thousands of people and their dogs will walk to fight animal cruelty, with the RSPCA’s Million Paws Walk back for another year.
