TRANSCRIPT

Today at Wacol, it was all about the animals.

The RSPCA Animal Care Campus hosted a ‘blessing of the animals’ ceremony.

Chaplain Cameron Auld, making sure no creature, great or small, was missed.

Cameron Auld, Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre: “God loves all creatures, he loves people, and he loves animals, and he loves everything on earth. And I think that we can’t bless everything and not leave a certain type of animal, or type of creature, out.”

He says the RSPCA’s work is important.

Cameron Auld, Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre: “I’ve seen just what sort of effort the guys have put into helping animals and I think it’s wonderful.”

This is Azzy. He’s got two prosthetic eyes. The Queensland RSPCA deals with 40,000 animals every year just like him. But, with only 1% of funding coming from the government, Brisbane public support is crucial.

This centre’s wildlife hospital is open 24/7.

While, its on-site adoption centre ensures animal lovers can find their perfect pet.
