The RSPCA Australia fan page is moderated by staff at the RSPCA Australia (Federal) office in Canberra. We monitor the page during business hours Mon-Fri, and occasionally on the weekend. If you have an urgent animal welfare query, please contact us via phone to ensure the matter is dealt with as soon as possible.
Please note that animal cruelty investigations are coordinated by State and Territory RSPCA Member Societies. If you would like to report a case or raise an issue regarding an investigation, please contact your relevant RSPCA Member Society using the link above. Be aware that in order to avoid jeopardising the outcome of an ongoing investigation, there are restrictions on the information RSPCA Member Societies may provide to the public.
The following guidelines aren’t intended to keep any negative or critical posts about the RSPCA from being posted. We love comments of all kinds – however, please keep in mind a few house rules to ensure a pleasant experience for all:
Be polite, clean and constructive. Comments that keep the conversation going are welcome, but off-topic, offensive, mudslinging, baiting, repetitive, or spam posts/comments may be moderated at our discretion. People who repeatedly breach these guidelines may find themselves banned.
We also reserve the right to delete any solicitations, advertisements, or endorsements of any financial, commercial or not-for-profit organisations.
A major area of RSPCA Australia’s work is in Humane Food, and we are working to help consumers find higher welfare products through its Humane Food programs. There is a consumer-driven change happening in shopping trolleys, kitchens and restaurants across the country. People want to know how their food is produced, and are increasingly finding inhumane farming systems unacceptable. We will not argue the ethical or moral pros and cons of vegetarianism/veganism vs. eating meat on this page.
The RSPCA is not a vegetarian/vegan organisation. We respect everyone’s eating choices, and we expect that others do the same, regardless of their personal philosophies.
