Have your say on animal welfare reform

In August the Hon Adam Marshall, Minister for Agriculture, released the NSW Animal Welfare Reform Discussion Paper for public comment. Consultation was open until Friday 17 September 2021.

This is our submission to the discussion paper here and you can also read our submission to an earlier stage of the welfare review here.

Click here to go to the NSW Department of Primary Industries website for links to the discussion paper.

We encouraged everyone with an interest in animal welfare to make a submission; it’s vital that animals receive legal protections against cruelty and neglect, as well as legal standards that actively promote their health, welfare and wellbeing.

We are grateful to everyone who completed the survey and made submissions, thank you for speaking up for our feline and other non-human animal friends!
