International
The International Department was established in 1934 to promote animal welfare abroad. Now known as RSPCA international, the departments targets its resources primarily in Southern Europe, Central and Eastern Europe and East Asia. Through its aid programme RSPCA International has provided support for various projects such as shelter construction and animal welfare campaigns, as well as funding for vehicles (animal ambulances), veterinary equipment and educational material.
Parliamentary action
The Society works had to keep animal welfare on the agenda at Westminster and has always been successful in bringing about legislative changes for the benefit of animals. Current developments include the new Animal Welfare Act - a modernised and updated version of the 1911 protection of animals act. Under the previous law, people responsible for pets could only be prosecuted for cruelty once suffering had occurred and when it was often too late to save the animal from death or lasting injury.
