Campaigns

RSPCA campaigns on animal welfare issues are an important avenue for educating the community on the humane treatment of animals.

Each campaign focuses on a major animal welfare concern and aims to inform and educate the general public and our legislators.

A vital way in which you can support the RSPCA is to be vocal in your opposition to animal cruelty.  By contacting your local members of parliament and government ministers and urging them to make the changes so strongly advocated by the RSPCA you will be lending weight to the voice of the RSPCA and will be speaking up for those animals who cannot speak for themselves.

Ways you can make an impact:

• Keep your email/letter concise and short

• Make it a personal statement

• Give your name and address

• Explain how the particular issue affects you

• If you have expertise in the issue, say so

• Be courteous and respectful

• If a politician already supports an issue you care about, write to thank them for their concern

• Always ask for a response to your email/letter

• Send a follow-up - subject to the outcome it may be a thank you or a polite expression of disappointment
