As millions of Aussies spent the better part of 2020 locked down and stuck inside, it's no surprise that the RSPCA was busier than usual investigating cruelty complaints.
RSPCA inspectors, who travel the nation in an attempt to make sure animals are well-cared for, investigated more than 57,900 cruelty cases through the 19/20 financial year.
The almost 58,000 investigations came from the 73,997 complaints originally made to the RSPCA's cruelty hotline.
