No Way to Treat an Animal is the debut extended play (EP) by Australian indie rock band Spacey Jane, which was issued independently on 16 November 2017.

Supported by the band's debut single "Still Running" and their breakthrough hit "Feeding the Family", the EP peaked at number 23 on the ARIA Charts in December 2020, three years after its release.
