Media Release Greens Will Push Companion Animal Protection in New Parliament 12/03/2014 11:00 am The Greens today committed to introducing laws into the State Parliament that would better ensure that no healthy or redeemable animals are needlessly put to death in our States pet shelters. “This push follows similar legislation in jurisdictions of the United States where the Companion Animal Protection Act (CAPA) was created because animal shelters were not voluntarily implementing life-saving programs for animals entering their care,” said Greens Leader Mark Parnell MLC. “CAPA would mandate the relationship between shelters and rescue organisations, making it illegal for a shelter to euthanise an animal if a rescue is willing to rehome that animal.” markparnell.org.au/mr.php?mr=985&fb_action_ids=714087291976294&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=[1392894764316053]&action_type_map=[%22og.likes%22]&action_ref_map=[]
