    Due to the domestication of cats and dogs their populations have skyrocketed. This is due in part to the lack of pet owners acting in a responsible manner. These responsibilities include the spaying and neutering of  pets. These numbers of

Also in 2009 to 2010, 281,000 people attended greyhound racing events and was known to be among the top ten ranked sports in Australia and additional the Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) 2013/14 annual report indicated that attendances had risen by six percent over the previous year. But though it’s popular the more issue arises in the way they regulate treatment and welfare these animals, the more people that support will become disguised and

Does having and caring for the animal provide the applicant with significantly greater benefits than those that accrue to any pet owner? If so, please provide a description of those benefits.

In today’s evolving society, there is more mobility that ever for people with disabilities. One of the things that allows this to happen is the use of service animals. Problems however arise when people try to cheat the system. Attempts to pass off pets as service animals, improperly trained animals, and businesses with lack of knowledge on laws all contribute to ongoing frustrations. The need for a centralized training standard as well as government registration and regulation of service animals is clear and immediate. If standards can be established within breeding clubs for “Good Citizen” training, then it can be done for service dogs. Then, once

By using this research methodology as the first source, enabled me to access opinion data, scientific information, and historic examples. This method provided the most effective and valuable information for determining who set the animal right laws, how they are enforced in Australia, and community opinions regarding the subject. Additionally, the validity of the internet sources was due to the in-depth explanation that was obtained from each source which developed the groundwork for the key findings. For example, in both the South Australian Animal Welfare Regulations document and Inspectorate Services of the RSPCA site, information was obtained elucidating that the RSPCA is the major animal right law enforcer and they possess the power to enter private property and seize animals. By analysing opinion data from a variety of sources I developed my ethical understanding by accepting the motivations of others and eliminating any opinion of my

Still, a lot more are being euthanized. The industry has endured bashing from the animal rights groups that claim commercial dog racing is cruel and that many retired and slow dogs are wantonly destroyed (Mitch Stacy, 2007). Ideally, all dogs should be adopted instead of being euthanized. However, if all dogs were to be adopted as suggested by the animal rights group, the numbers would just be too many and it’s unrealistic. Apart from those that are being adopted or euthanized, a number of dogs have been gone ‘missing’ from the industry every year. Animal rights group believe that these dogs were being mistreated and killed inhumanely. To prevent this from happening, the new technology provides more accurate ways to identify dogs. Dogs are now implanted with microchip for identification. Through scanning the unique code by a reader, data including the dog’s health history, weight, breed, owner etc could all be seen clearly. This is much more reliable than the old system of using ear brands, which is far more difficult to read, and could stop any attempts to modify the dog’s weight, ability and identity, thus ensuring that they are not being mistreated (Dr John F Newell, 2006).

The practice of the overbreeding of dogs to sell their puppies for a profit is commonly known as ‘puppy farming’. RSPCA Australia defines puppy farming as an ‘intensive dog breeding facility that is operated under inadequate conditions that fail to meet the dogs’ behavioural, social and/or physiological needs’. Owners of puppy farms, otherwise known as puppy factories or puppy mills, often keep large numbers of animals for excessive breeding. Once the puppies have been born, they are often sold off to unsuspecting clients with no registration, no microchip, no vaccinations and unknown genetically inherited problems. Stakeholders in this issue include the animals, the breeder, any past, present or future clients, the animal welfare officers

This legislation protects the welfare of animals which are sold as pets. The Act requires anyone keeping a pet shop to be licenced by the local authority. The local authority must check that the animals are kept in a clean and suitable accommodation; are supplied with appropriate food and drink; and are protected from fire and disease before granting a licence. The

The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 ensures that the usage of animals must be kept to a

Within the legislation specific standards were stipulated including require shelter, humane transportation methods and veterinary hospitals; although wild animals were excluded so protection wasn’t granted. The RSPCA has exceeded various achievement which have improved the public prospections due to banishing the fur farming industry within the UK and included specific standards to ensure the welfare is maintained within the animal testing industry; although have readjusted the Fox Hunting Act 2004 to ensure the banishment of dogs within the hunt. The organisation has constructed various campaigns and projects which have incorporated the scientific and legal aspects to encourage and change the public and governments perceptions on the current welfare issues arising. The most current campaigns and projects which the organisation has established is banishing the puppy trading and transportation into the
