AUSTRALIA does not have a National Agency co-ordinating for our animals welfare.

This lack of adequate Government leadership and direction for animal welfare and protection is impacting miserably for our animals.

Australia needs the establishment of an Independent Agency for Animal Welfare to address our current state and territory laws.

Establishing an Independent Agency for Animal Welfare at both Federal and State level is badly overdue.

We need better regulations and animal protection Laws in Australia.

It is more than time for our Australian Government to give our animals an independent and effective voice in government processes.

An Independent Agency for Animal Welfare should be fully funded by the Government and be as accountable and transparent to the public as other Law enforcement agencies.
