LAW@CDC 2024: Furry Friends, Fair Treatment: Understanding Animal Welfare Laws

Singapore places a high value on animal welfare. This talk explores the Animals and Birds Act, focusing on legal protections against animal cruelty and neglect. The discussion will delve into scenarios like pet abandonment, inadequate care, and recognizing signs of animal cruelty. The panelists will explain the legal process for reporting such incidents and the role of animal welfare organizations. Attendees will gain insights into their rights and responsibilities as pet owners, and how they can contribute to a more compassionate environment for animals in Singapore.
Join us as our moderator, Jolena Ang (Legal Counsel, QAF Limited), and speakers, Sadhana Rai (Head of Representation, Pro Bono SG) and Aarthi Sankar (Executive Director, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)), as they discuss valuable insights and practical advice on how you can advocate for and contribute to animal welfare in your community.
