Bear Witness: Turkey Vigil
Jul
17
to 18 Jul

Bear Witness: Turkey Vigil

Join Animal Liberation, Sydney Animal Save, and Wollongong Animal Save in solidarity with the animals at an upcoming turkey vigil.

To receive the address, please send us a message on Facebook or email Nadia at nadia@animal-lib.org.au.

Bear Witness

We invite you to bear witness to the individuals whose lives will be prematurely taken. We bear witness to show our respects to them and remember them and all of the other victims who have entered the slaughterhouse and will enter the slaughterhouse

Part of a global movement

As part of the Worldwide Save Movement Network, we will be adhering to the principles of peace and respect for all living beings, and truth in our advocacy. Further details can be found in the Memorandum of Understanding (http://thesavemovement.org/start-a-save-group/mou/) and the Save Movement Code of Conduct (http://thesavemovement.org/code-of-conduct/).

The facility

This facility has approximately 8 trucks arrive, four nights a week. A truck can carry anywhere from 500 to 800 turkeys depending on their age and size. That's an approximate slaughter rate of 16,000 turkeys per week.

About turkeys

Turkeys are inquisitive creatures and a wide range of feelings - joy, fear, love, loyalty, pain. Australia produces about 5 million turkeys each year and sales are at their highest in December. It is estimated 75% of turkeys farmed in Australia are slaughtered for Christmas day meals. This number is growing.

Grown in filthy, windowless sheds, they are crammed in approximately 14,000 others, and will never see the light of day. They are unable to display normal behaviours such as spreading their wings, perching and dust bathing. Electric wire runs along the feeders to prevent turkeys from perching on them.

The stress caused by these farming conditions leads to neurotic behaviours such as feather pecking and cannibalism. This is managed by "debeaking" using a hot blade to burn off the sharp tips of their beaks.

Turkeys have been selectively bred and genetically modified to favour rapid growth.

They are slaughtered at just 10-12 weeks old. A drastically shortened life as they can live for 10+ years.

Please come and help us share their stories.

PROTEST the PBR Monster Energy Tour Origin
Apr

PROTEST the PBR Monster Energy Tour Origin

Join Animal Liberation Newcastle Chapter, Animal Liberation, and Animal Liberation Queensland on Saturday the 22nd of April and send a clear message that animal cruelty is not entertaining.

Rodeos are banned in the UK, parts of the US and the Australian Capital Territory. These inherently cruel events have absolutely no place here in Newcastle.

The PBR claims that this is the "greatest rivalry in Australian sport, a head-to-head competition of the Maroons vs Blues.
This is a competition of state vs state, mate vs mate, in the biggest bull riding competition of the year."

What a farce?!

The truth is that rodeo animals are physically provoked into displaying 'wild' behaviour such as bucking and twisting by the use of cruel devices such as spurs, electric prods and flank straps pulled tightly around their sensitive belly.
These animals suffer many kinds of injuries with some being killed as a result of their severe injuries.

Remember if you can't attend for the entire time please don't let that stop you – all support is appreciated!

Important information

  • It is vital that all attendees of this event strictly follow the organiser's safety advice at all times before and during the event. Anyone not adhering to safety advice will be asked to leave.

  • Please DO NOT attend if you are unwell.

  • Please keep an eye on the Facebook Event page for updates.

  • PENDING POLICE APPROVAL

A Dog's Breakfast
Apr

A Dog's Breakfast

EVENT POSTPONED

As the Applicant has withdrawn the planning proposal and due to the current climate emergency flooding affecting those who live and work in the Northern Rivers, we are postponing this event. Once we have a new date, we will update this event page.

-

Animal Liberation, the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds, Animal Liberation QLD, and No More Tracks are supporting Green's MP, Mandy Nolan's, A Dog's Breakfast Event.

-

The proposal for a new Greyhound Racing Track at Chinderah is a dog's breakfast!

We're a community that loves our dogs and doesn't want the greyhound industry set up its largest racetrack in our backyard. It's cruelty on a commercial scale.

Bring your dog and join us for a fun community get together for a dog's breakfast*.

All dogs and their humans welcome.

Prizes for the dog that looks most like the owner. Bushiest tail. The dog with most expressive eyes. Best head tilt. The dog with the best mullet. The dog with the biggest smile. More categories to be announced.

*we'll have tea and coffee for humans but to ensure a safe environment for all, there's no actual breakfast for dogs. We will have water bowls and doggie poops bags though. Please make sure your dog is on a lead at all times.

Please note you need to register for this event: https://www.mandy4richmond.com/a-dogs-breakfast/.

Sydney Animal Rights March 2022
Apr

Sydney Animal Rights March 2022

On Saturday April 2nd 2022, we'll take to the streets of Sydney to protest the systemic abuse of non-human animals under Australian law.

Animals are forced to race, fight, entertain, forced to live in cages, containers, captivity, have their babies taken, their fur ripped out, and their date of death decided before they are even born.

We call for a future free from slaughterhouses, racetracks, and puppy farms. A future where 'wild' animals remain wild, where 'food' denotes produce, not flesh, and where animals are no longer viewed as commodities.

The march will be a silent protest. There will be no shouting, cheering or chanting, just the steady beat of drums.

If you support ending unnecessary animal suffering, join us on April 2nd at Belmore Park, 11:30am for a 12pm start.

Smash that 'Going' button, and 'Like' the Sydney Animal Rights March page to stay tuned for announcements.

PLEASE NOTE: This will be a lawful assembly; police approval has already been granted. We will have a police escort and will adhere to NSW Health restrictions at the time.

Protest to STOP the new Ipswich greyhound track

Join Animal Liberation Queensland in protest to stop the $40 million Ipswich greyhound track.

Racing Queensland, with the support of the Palaszczuk Government, wants to build a new greyhound racing track in Ipswich.

The proposal has been endorsed by the Deputy Premier & Planning Minister, Steven Miles, and is currently being considered using a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation process - a process that side-steps local government.

Thousands of Queenslanders have lodged objections against this, now let's keep the momentum going with a protest in Ipswich.

Location TBA

Stop the #NikeKangarooMassacre

Stop the #NikeKangarooMassacre

We're back, and this time it's global. Join MP Mark Pearson, MP Emma Hurst, MP Andy Meddick and Senate Candidate Darren Brollo outside Nike to protest their mass slaughter of kangaroos.

SYD: Nike Flagship Store, 319 George St, Sydney 2000
MLB: TBC
BRIS: TBC

Protest Vibe: Peaceful, inclusive, welcoming, polite.

NEVER PROTESTED BEFORE?

We will have posters for you to hold! Flyers for you to hand out! We need people to hold banners, get petition signatures – every single attendee will have an important role. You will be loved and appreciated!

Speakers at the Sydney protest include MP Mark Pearson, MP Emma Hurst and Lead Senate Candidate Darren Brollo

MP Andy Meddick will lead the Melbourne protest

WE’RE BACK. AND THIS TIME IT’S GLOBAL

In December 2021 we held a national protest outside Nike stores in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Our protest made the evening TV news and was picked up by global vegan media Plant Based News.

We've made huge strides in raising public awareness. Join us now for the first ever coordinated global protest to stop the #nikekangaroomassacre.

SEVEN CITIES WORLDWIDE

The protest will take place simultaneously in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and, in the USA, NYC, Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland – home to Nike’s global headquarters.

WHY?

Every night across Australia, thousands of kangaroos are shot so that Nike can turn their skin into shoes. Even mothers with joeys in their pouches are shot down. Their shocked joeys are pulled out and ‘dispatched’, usually by having their skull crushed under the shooter’s boot or whacked on a bullbar.

This nightly horror is being driven by huge profits for Nike, who use kangaroo skin to make high-end soccer boots.

The 2021 Parliamentary Inquiry found that this is driving kangaroos to extinction: a chain of local extinctions has already been reported across NSW.

We need to end this profit-driven slaughter of our gentle wildlife. Join us to demand Nike stop using roos for shoes.

WHY YOU?

Kangaroos need every single person they can get to show up to this protest. The more numbers we have, the more seriously we'll be taken by Nike, the media and the government, and the more public awareness we can raise!

IS IT BYO PROTEST SIGN?

No, we will have plenty of posters, flyers, banners, roles for every single person who attends! However, if you feel like getting creative, absolutely feel free to make your own sign! Slogans we recommend:

NIKE, STOP FUNDING A KANGAROO MASSACRE #KANGAROOSARENOTSHOES

JOEYS MURDERED SO THEIR MUMS CAN BE SHOES #NIKEKANGAROOMASSACRE

KANGAROOS ARE NOT SHOES #NIKEKANGAROOMASSACRE

OVER 40,000 KANGAROOS SHOT PER MONTH IN NSW ALONE #NIKEKANGAROOMASSACRE
