Position Statements

Patenting

SPCA opposes the patenting of animals where this leads to negative impacts on their welfare.

Patenting animals may encourage the view that animals are merely research tools rather than sentient beings capable of experiencing positive or negative welfare, which can undermine efforts to safeguard their welfare.
