Breeder Tip Off

Unethical and illegal breeding practices, such as breeding animals in poor conditions or failing to meet basic welfare needs, can result in severe suffering for animals.

When not responding to cruelty complaints pertaining to breeders, the RSPCA NSW Breeders Compliance Unit proactively inspects registered breeding establishments to ensure they are complying with the Breeding Code for Cats and Dogs.    

RSPCA NSW relies on information from the community to investigate breeders who are not complying with animal welfare standards.
