SPCA advocates for improved legislative tools to address the ongoing welfare harms experienced by animals resulting from un-regulated breeding.

SPCA supports rabbit jumping competitions for exercise and enrichment provided steps are taken to ensure the animal's physical, health, and behavioural needs are met and the rabbit has an appropriate personality and fitness level.

SPCA advocates that when an animal is euthanised, the method adopted must minimise fear and distress for the animal and must result in rapid loss of consciousness followed by death.

SPCA advocates that the most humane options of killing are used for animals used for research, testing, and teaching. SPCA opposes the current use of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a killing method for animals used in research, testing, and teaching because of the length of time it can take before an animal is unconscious before death and the negative experiences an animal feels during this time.

SPCA believes humans have a duty of care to assist wild animals found in pain or distress as a direct consequence of a human activity or interference, or because of a natural disaster.

SPCA is concerned about the welfare of cats housed in cat cafés and the increasing prevalence and lack of regulation of cat cafés.

SPCA supports the walking of cats in harness provided the equipment used is appropriate, well-fitted, and secure, the cat’s physical, health, and behavioural needs are met, and the activity is stopped if the cat shows signs of stress.

SPCA advocates for the importation of slower-growing, more humane chicken breeds.

SPCA opposes the use of animals in circuses or travelling menageries because the demands placed on the animals to meet the travel schedule result in negative impacts to their welfare.

SPCA supports an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management that identifies the effects of commercial fishing on ecosystems.
