Why Animal Care Australia

Animal Care Australia was established as an independent animal welfare organisation, by uniting experienced animal keepers, carers and breeders.

Extreme animal rights and animal liberationist ideologies have been influencing government legislation, regulation and policy development & implementation, without proper consultation, at the expense of you and your animals.

We are here to provide a trustworthy, balanced voice – protecting you and your animals.

You can have a voice too – Animal Care Australia has established Animal Advisory Groups for each main species. Individual members and member organisations can request to be included in these groups – and help by having your say!

Friendly Reminder: Cats don't need milk! 🐱🍼Despite popular belief, cats do not need milk. If they are fed a balanced diet, they will get all the nutrients they need that way. Milk can upset their stomach, particularly if they are not used to it. This is because, once weaned, many cats become lactose intolerant as they lose the ability to produce the enzyme needed to properly digest it.Help us continue to advocate for our furry friends!Join ACA today: animalcareaustralia.org.au/join/Support our mission: animalcareaustralia.org.au/donate-to-a#cats##cutecatt#DidYouKnowu#tagafriendr#AnimalCareAustraliar#EducateNotRegulateu#AnimalWelfareIsAnimalCarel#cute##animalsi#catfactsFacts ...
