Animal/Pet Care Services
Updated: Monday, February 18, 2008
Animal care-givers in Fiji share the notion that animals, especially those under human care, should not suffer unnecessarily including where the animal is used for food, work, companionship, or research. This position usually focuses on the morality of human action, or inaction, as opposed to making deeper political or philosophical claims about the status of animals, as is the case for an animal rights viewpoint.
In 1824, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or SPCA was established and was considered the world's first official animal welfare organisation. Formation of the renowned organisation in Fiji came about in 1953, and since then, has given way to the establishment of more pet care and animal welfare services.
The SPCA (Fiji) wishes to invite any of its members or other readers who would like, on a voluntary basis, to write articles related to issues of animal welfare, pet ownership, and the work of the SPCA, to contact: tim_howick_smith@yahoo.com
