From City of Ballarat Director Infrastructure and Environment Terry Demeo
The figures show that the Ballarat community remains vigilant in reporting instances of suspected animal cruelty and reflects that the RSPCA retains a strong presence in Ballarat.
It's also worth noting that the RSPCA's online reporting system makes its easy for community members to notify about suspected cruelty cases.
Guided by our Domestic Animal Management Plan and through the work we do at the Animal Shelter, the City of Ballarat will continue to promote the principles of responsible pet ownership to the local community.
