"Operation Wanted" - RSPCA Desexing Initiative

The Queensland Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA QLD) yearly statewide desexing initiative known as “Operation Wanted” has commenced this year as of 1 June 2016. It will run, for the next three (3) months, until 31 August 2016.

Council is again financially supporting the RSPCA’s “Operation Wanted” initiative as it plays a significant role in helping to reduce the occurrence of unwanted litters and the associated issues that it causes within the community. This program directly assists those animal owners who are acting responsibly.

Last year an animal owner from the South Burnett won the major incentive prize of a Harley Davidson motorbike. Incentive prizes are again being offered this year and participants in the “Operation Wanted” program could be the fortunate winner just by getting their pet desexed.
