RSPCA Animal Rescue
7:30pm Wednesdays on the Seven Network |
The team at RSPCA Australia is excited to announce the launch
of a brand new TV series called ‘RSPCA Animal Rescue’.
Showing nationally on the Seven network from Tuesday 17 July,
RSPCA Animal Rescue is an observational documentary in the
style of other hit programmes including Border Security and
The Force. The series will now air
at 7:30pm on Wednesday night.
The series will feature the challenging assignments, difficult
situations and heartwarming stories faced every day by the RSPCA’s
inspectors, veterinarians and other staff; the dedicated and
professional men and women carrying out the animal welfare
charity’s mission to care for and protect Australia’s animals.
It’s a turbulent and often emotional journey for the inspectors
as they confront cases of horror and heartbreak in their efforts
to rescue the lost, neglected, abandoned and abused animals of
Australia – a country with one of the highest levels of pet
ownershiop in the world.
The series is presented and narrated by popular Australian
identity Anthony Field, aka ‘the blue Wiggle’, and was filmed
during the summer months of 2006 and 2007 at RSPCAs in New South
Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
Viewers of RSPCA Animal Rescue will witness some
extraordinary events – from a cow caught in a river to a horse
stuck in a ditch, to a wounded pelican shot by an arrow as well as
many cats and dogs who’ve become hurt or been left without
adequate care.
Each year, more than 135,000 animals are given shelter at one
of the many branches of the RSPCA across Australia. Many are
rescued by the inspectors, some are surrendered when they are no
longer wanted by their owners, while others are brought to the
clinics by member of the public or one of the many RSPCA Animal
Ambulances in operation.
RSPCA Animal Rescue gives the viewer an up-close, behind
the scenes look at the vital work performed by the RSPCA and the
care provided to animals in need. It’s an environment where
frontline staff make life and death decisions every day, even
risking their own safety for the life of an animal.
The RSPCA is a non-government charity that depends on the
support of individuals and businesses in the community to continue
it’s vital work. If you’d like to help the RSPCA with a donation,
