Wild Welfare’s Post

Each state and territory in Australia operates under its own set of animal welfare laws, creating a fragmented regulatory environment that gives rise to disparities in the treatment of animals. These variations prevent the timely and consistent implementation of national standards based on contemporary animal welfare science and community expectations. It's time to create a unified national framework to establish consistent standards and simplify regulatory processes, ensuring uniform protection for all animals across Australia. You can help reform the system by: 🐷 Supporting a #FairGoForAnimals by adding your name here: https://lnkd.in/efqqsdgt 🐑 Providing an informed submission calling for vital reforms in response to the renewal of the Australian Animal Welfare Strategy: https://lnkd.in/erXQ3uKh #animalwelfare #policyreform

Under the existing animal welfare governance framework, commercial interests routinely take precedence over animal welfare, leading to policies that often ignore scientific advice. As a result, Australians have more trust in those who place the interests of animals at the core of decisions. It’s time to build a system that values expert advice and reflects community values.

Most Australians want an independent authority to have the final say on government policy decisions that affect animal welfare. But under our current governance system, animal welfare policy is delegated to Departments and Ministers of Agriculture, who are plagued by conflicts of interest. These institutions have competing responsibilities and economic interests almost always outweigh animal welfare concerns. That's why we're proposing the establishment of an independent National Animal Welfare Commission to oversee a new fair, consistent and transparent process for policy decisions and the creation of national animal welfare standards.
