Australia’s most trusted animal welfare charity commemorates 150 years of caring for animals
Sunday 4 July marks 150 years of RSPCA Victoria’s work caring for and protecting animals. Since its formation in 1871 when the first meeting was held in Melbourne to improve the lives of horses in colonial Victoria, Australia’s most trusted animal welfare organisation has worked to better the lives of all creatures great and small, fur covered and feathered, homeless and abused, abandoned or in poor health.
The first RSPCA to be established in Australia, in its 150 years, RSPCA Victoria has worked to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome hundreds of thousands of animals in need. Since its inception RSPCA Victoria has advocated for changes that would end tail docking of puppies and intensive breeding operations, to improve the welfare of racing animals, to make it easier for renters to have pets, and inform major pieces of legislation, notably the Domestic Animals Act 1994.
