The aim of my blog is to provide a regular update of activities from around the State. Three months into the job and I can’t help wondering where the time has gone! As a long time member and supporter of RSPCA Tasmania, I’m not just passionate about my dogs – I’m passionate about all aspects of animal welfare, and although there is much to do, I am enjoying the daily challenges of my role.
It was very encouraging to see such a strong turnout at our recent rally on the lawns of Parliament House, supporting the RSPCA led national push to ban live exports. While we were disappointed with the outcome of the vote in the house RSPCA will continue to apply pressure over this appalling trade. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my team, our volunteers and guest speakers for their contribution on the day.
Volunteers are an integral part of the role we play in improving the welfare of animals. We value the assistance provided by our volunteers tremendously. There are a number of volunteer roles available with RSPCA Tasmania and we would welcome the opportunity to talk with those interested in helping.
We have a number of fundraising and awareness events planned during the next few months, details are available on this website. One of our important fundraisers is Happy Tails which takes place nationally on 7 October. Events such as Happy Tails help with the significant work which RSPCA undertake in Tasmania.
Another area that is an important part of our development is the role of educating and engaging the community with our work which is something I look forward to expanding on in future blogs.
In closing, it’s easy to keep in touch with what’s happening at RSPCA Tasmania, follow us on facebook, subscribe to our newsletter or visit our website. I look forward to providing information updates - feel free to respond to me personally by commenting on this blog.
