Christmas Party 2006

Date Posted: 20 Dec 2006
2006 was a great year for promoting our factory farmed friends to the front of the headlines. Chickens lead the way, followed closely behind by the little (bloomin huge) oinkers. What we are hoping for in 2007 is for Animal Liberation to outstrip 2006 in a big way. We have an extremely successful and motivated bunch of volunteers willing to donate their time and effort into making the world (at least Sydney) a happier place for animals.

Australia mourns Peter Brock

Date Posted: 16 Sep 2006
Australia is mourning the loss of Peter Brock, the champion racing driver. Not well-known was his vegetarianism/veganism, due to his respect of the lives of other beings as well as his desire for the good health of his body. He preferred to live the "quiet example" vegetarian lifestyle, and it certainly was quite an example.

Live Exports

Elders is not only involved in the Live Export market, but is clearly proud enough of its involvement to broadcast it to the world through its website. It was for this reason that Animal Liberation rallied outside Elders Real Estate agency at Neutral Bay on Saturday the 25th March, our aim was to highlight to the Australian public the companies who are profiting from this abhorrent trade. Other animal organisations held their own protests on the same day in a national day of action against Live Exports.

Australia Post has just released a selection of collectable stamps entitled "Down on the Farm". There's no two ways about it -- the pictures are absolutely adorable.
