| 5.1 |
RSPCA Australia is opposed to the hunting of any animal for sport as it causes unnecessary injury, suffering, distress or death to the prey animal. The term ‘hunting for sport’ includes hunting with hounds, coursing, pig hunting, bow hunting and all forms of recreational shooting (e.g. kangaroo shooting, duck, quail and other game shooting). |
| 5.2 |
RSPCA Australia advocates the use of cruelty-free alternatives to hunting sports such as lure coursing and drag hunting, where dogs chase a non-living lure or scent. |
