Animal Welfare Act 2002

The Western Australian Government recognises the value of animal welfare to the community and strives to ensure that all animals receive appropriate standards of care.

At times such as during drought, sheep and cattle are subject to dramatic loss in body condition due to reduced feed intake.

As part of the public consultation process on the draft Standards and Guidelines for the Health and Welfare of Dogs in WA, stakeholders were invited to submit individual written submissions.

It is the responsibility of owners and carers of animals to ensure their safety and survival during an emergency. These include livestock, horses, companion animals and wildlife.
