The RSPCA is known for being committed to improving the welfare of millions of animals across Australia. The RSPCA has been operating for over 150 years, and RSPCA Approved has been part of the organisation for 25 years now. There’s a lot to learn when it comes to how the RSPCA implements higher animal welfare standards, and we’re hoping we can ask some of the questions you want answered.
We sat down with Rich to understand more about how the organisation operates.

Whether you've heard of wood vinegar or not, it's definitely one to get across and hopefully you come away from this ep with some answers but also lots of curiosity!
