We are committed to supporting and participating in the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Any person/s who is witnessed or suspected of cruelty to any animals on site will be immediately asked to leave the premises (in the case of program participants they will be removed from the park and a parent or guardian will be called). The Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary will report any instances of animal abuse or cruelty to the police for further investigation and prosecution.
