And now they want to get rid of RSPCA!

4/11/2013

In WA, the motion put to parliament by Rick Mazza, Shooters and Fishers Party member, was:

'For the govt to investigate as to whether the RSPCA is transforming from an animal welfare society to an animal rights activist  group and is losing its original core values and community respect as a credible organisation.'

The debate primarily focused on RSPCA's continued lobbying to stop live exports.

Let us not forget that whilst no prosecutions followed, a routine live sheep export voyage to the Middle East was found to be cruel in a court of law in Western Australia and proven beyond reasonable doubt. If for no other reason than this, RSPCA must by its very name, oppose the live export trade.

This turn of events is a terrible worry. It seems to me to be a case of 'give up the money or support live exports'.

If the RSPCA were to give up the money which is paid in part because their inpectorate does the job for Government - which by rights they should be paid for- the likelihood is that the charity could not afford to monitor livestock so the farmers/pro live exporters/ shooters and fishers win. As does DAFWA (WA Department of Agriculture) who have wanted RSPCA to hand over livestock responsibilities to them for some time.

It is most concerning to see our politicians damning an organisation established to prevent cruelty to animals because that organisation refuses to ratify live export as acceptable.
