For a country with so many pets, working and farm animals and a reputation for being clean and green, our treatment, or mistreatment of animals does not meet expectations.
Over 6500 animal abuse cases are reported every year. The SPCA release a list of shame each year containing examples of the worst of the worst. Unfortunately they don’t name them even though they have been convicted without name suppression. As a nation we should be ashamed of this record.
One website is not allowing convicted animal abusers to be lost over time. Have a look at www.animalabuser.co.nz and visit Petvocate on Facebook
The SPCA lists of shame are available on their website.
