RSPCA WA is, and always has been, a leading advocate for farmers in Western Australia.   

Despite what you may have heard from some groups, RSPCA WA has consistently advocated for farmers to be adequately compensated for the impact of ending the Long-Haul Live Export of Sheep by Sea, and has called for Federal Government support and investment to increase the slaughtering and processing industry in Western Australia 

This will ensure there is capacity and, importantly, competition in the WA market place after Live Export ceases, meaning the survival and growth of the sheep industry.   

We believe, and economic studies have shown, that good animal welfare is good for farmers.  Many progressive producers in Western Australia have already seen this and proactively moved away from the Live Export trade.
