I'm tempted to pull a lmgtfy, but I already know this one: Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

No, it's ASPCA Australia. They're the good guys.

RSPCA - Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
lmgtfy- Let My Google That for You
Peta - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Not to be confused with Pita, really
ASPCA - American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

I guess my overarching point is that acronyms in stories should have an expansion on first use unless they are common to the specialization of the outlet (Like NoE, NoA, etc. for here since there common and part of this industry.)

I didn't know ASPCA :( All these organizations need to hire some good acronym people.

Thanks for the answers.

Also whats up with the ASPCA's seal:

I knew you'd ask that, but I left it abbreviated for my own personal lulz. Sorry. :)

Regarding the seal, I think the *SPCA organizations got their starts defending abused carriage horses.
