Todays blog is about the SPCA.  The SPCA stands for 'Society for the Provention of Cruelty to Animals'.  This means that a group of people have come together to say that you can't be mean to animals anymore, and that if you are, your animal can be taken off you and sometimes you have to pay a lot of money or even go to jail.

I have learnt that the SPCA have helped 40 thousand animals in a year in New Zealand.  I have also learnt that the SPCA have given 2.5 thousand schools access to free education resources.  The last fact is that 29.6 thousand are desexed and microchipped.  When animals are microchipped it shows who the owner is and that way when a pet is lost it can be returned.


I have 1 cat and 2 dogs that are microshipped.  Have you ever got an animal from the SPCA?  Are the animals you have microchipped?

I wonder if the SPCA also helps out bees, bears and other wild critters?

    Kia ora Lucy,

    Another activity done and dusted - tino pai rawa atu! :)

    This is a fantastic post, Lucy. I'm so impressed by the amount of effort you've put into researching what the SPCA does and the amount of information and detail you've included in your post. The SPCA does an amazing job, doesn't it? Did you know that you can volunteer to help take care of the animals? I'm not sure that they help bees and bears but I do know that they help dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats. I think they might tend to smaller farm animals as well. What animals would you most like to help look after if you were a volunteer?

    Sadly, I don't have any pets at the moment. The house I live in here in Auckland doesn't allow us to have animals but when I was growing up and lived at home with my parents we had dogs, cats, fish, frogs, birds and axolotls! What are your pets names?

    Have a wonderful afternoon, Lucy. I can't wait to read more of your posts soon. :)

    Bye for now,

    Mikey
