About Us – WLPA

WELCOME FROM OUR PATRON: WLPA is a volunteer-based, membership association that relies on donations and the good will of our members and supporters to do our work. I encourage all readers to get involved and back our campaigns. As a published novelist, I get involved by making ongoing references to the work of our Association in my books and events. I hope all our members could also get involved. Belinda Alexander, Patron

WELCOME FROM OUR PRESIDENT: In 2019, our priority concerns are:

To implement a no-kill policy in pounds and shelters to stop the killing of thousands of healthy cats and dogs every year.
To rehome as many cats, dogs and rabbits every year to spare them the cruelty of being killed in pounds should they become lost or abandoned.
To stop the commercialisation of native wildlife, especially the Kangaroo.
To ban the use of 1080 poison.
To ban the use of the steel jaw traps in Australia (we succeeded in having this banned in NSW and ACT in 1997).
To ban recreational hunting.
To lobby NSW councils to provide low cost desexing.
To ban circuses with animals.
To protect Australia's dingo by lobbying our government to recognise and protect it as a vulnerable species. Halina Thompson, President
