This year saw the 30th anniversary of the much loved Million Paws Walk, with our four-legged friends taking their humans for walks at locations right up and down the Queensland coast.
Another highlight this year in showcasing the incredible work our teams do in support of all creatures great and small was the production to two separate TV programs - Wildlife ER and For the Love of Pets.
One area RSPCA Queensland has increased its focus on is advocacy - where we attempt to draw attention to positive and meaningful change for as many animals as possible. This year we have been active with government across a range of codes and standards, including breeder codes where we continue to advocate for the end to puppy farming, dangerous dogs where we strong hold the view that breed alone does not determine the likelihood of a dangerous dog. And we continue to lobby for the new poultry standards to be legislated so we can finally have a date to remove battery cages.
In response to the focus on dangerous dogs, RSPCA played an important role around education and teaching our youngest generations the importance of safety around dogs through our Prevent-a-Bite campaign.
