RSPCA Australia believes that fit and healthy companion animals that are suitable for adoption should not be euthanased (see A3). The RSPCA nevertheless reluctantly accepts that in certain circumstances such euthanasia is necessary, in particular where there is a long-term shortage of appropriate homes for companion animals.
