As part of our efforts to facilitate a better understanding of animal welfare issues within the public sphere in Singapore, the SPCA regularly writes letters to the mainstream press. In these letters, we raise our concerns and include our recommendations. Letters are also written to publicly voice our objection to instances of animal cruelty. Sometimes, these letters are directed to the private companies involved.

It important to share our views with our members as well as the general public. These letters are also a reminder that the SPCA does much 'behind-the-scenes' work to campaign for improvements in animal welfare conditions in Singapore as well as increase public awareness of key animal welfare issues.
