SPCA
What is SPCA?
SPCA helps protect approximately 45,300 animals in New Zealand every year. Animals who are sick, injured, lost, abused or simply abandoned. We are the only charity with the power to protect all animals
How did it begin?
SPCA began in England in the 19th century .The first law to protect animals was passed in 1822 after a long struggle by several people including William Wilberforce and Richard Martin. In 1824 Rev Arthur Broome formed SPCA in London. These three men, with others, proceeded to make many performances for breaches of the new Act.
How is SPCA funded?
As a charity, SPCA receives only 1% of its funding from the New Zealand government. As a result, SPCA relies almost entirely on the generosity of the public to carry out their life.Thank you for reading the post hope you enjoyed
