Table 3.

Numbers of inspectors, cruelty reports and prosecutions for each state and territory in Australia. All data were gathered from the 2018/2019 RSPCA annual reports. Note, as described in Table 2, that the RSPCA may not be the sole enforcement body for that state or territory. The Northern Territory is not included in Table as RSPCA NT has no role in enforcement.
