Why ACA

ACA was established as an independant 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.

Latest Issues

Animal Care Australia supports dog agility & sporting events. Many dog breeds are utilised in different activities such as fly-ball, IGP, and other competitive sports organised by community-based social groups and associations and are separate events to the greyhound racing industry. Animal Care Australia has no objection to these events as long as the appropriate breeds are utilised within the appropriate events, and high welfare standards are maintained during training, participating in the event and care at home. Animal Care Australia does not support the existence of breeding standards that result in the loss of physical function where the appearance or presentation of the animal takes precedence over the health and well-being of the animal. It must be about welfare first.
