RSPCA supportive of improving regulatory frameworks for pet rehoming sector
RSPCA Victoria welcomes yesterday’s release of the final report from the Victorian Government’s Taskforce on Rehoming Pets, after providing a submission advocating for a number of the resulting recommendations.
RSPCA is pleased to see recommendations, including improvements to the regulatory framework for rehoming pets, that will work to improve the welfare of dogs and cats requiring rehoming.
As a socially conscious shelter, RSPCA Victoria believes transparency, including animal fate data reporting, collaboration and continuous improvement of standards are vital to ensure all animals are treated humanely and are provided with their best opportunity to live a good life.
RSPCA Victoria is particularly pleased to see the regulation of rescue groups has been included in the recommendations from the Taskforce. This will help ensure all animal care groups are transparent and adhere to the same standards.
RSPCA Victoria looks forward to working with the Victorian Government on the report’s recommendations as they consider important decisions relating to new policy that will improve the lives of Victorian animals.
