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!

Animal rights advocates support our call for an Animal Welfare Commission!Isn’t it wonderful to read that both the AJP Vic, AJP QLD and the Australian Alliance for Animals, are now ACTIVELY supporting our position calling for an Animal Welfare Commission.Seems they’ve finally seen the light — recognising that those who keep and breed animals really are the animal welfare experts.These are the individuals whose hands-on experience, daily care, and practical knowledge should form the backbone of Australia’s animal welfare system – in both education and regulation.Or... will they hijack our proposal from the 2023 Parliamentary Inquiry and make it all about them and not animal welfare?For more information: www.animalcareaustralia.org.au/animal-welfare-commission/#AnimalCareAustralia #AnimalWelfare #AnimalWelfareIsAnimalCare #AnimalCare #EvidenceBasedPolicy #ResponsiblePetOwnership #EducateNotRegulate #pets #animals #foryoupage #fyp #AnimalWelfareCommission ...
