Our policies
From genetic engineering to responsible pet ownership to rodeos to fish as prizes, our policies set out what we believe. The Animal Welfare Committee has developed our policies over the years to guide the RSPCA's work. Our policies outline our views on the ways animals are treated, and these views are the basis from which we take action.
