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. But is it covered by 'Truth in Advertising' legislation? However adorable, the images are exactly how the agricultural sector want the population to view what goes on: animals having fun!

Animals Australia launches new website - savebabe.com

Dear Friends,

This week has seen Animals Australia launch its largest initiative ever - a unique campaign and website - savebabe.com

With the tremendous support of popular celebrities, Jackie O', Suzie Wilks, Rebecca Gibney and Jessica Napier, savebabe.com will highlight the tragic lives of female pigs in intensive piggeries in Australia and encourage shoppers to create much needed change by not purchasing intensively farmed ham, bacon and pork.  Currently the majority of Australians are unaware of the conditions that hundreds of thousands of these intelligent, social and affectionate animals endure in factory farms in Australia.

Jackie, Suzie, Rebecca and Jessica have all made impassioned pleas on savebabe.com on behalf of these animals.

And with the launch of savebabe.com, it is also with great pleasure that I introduce you to its beautiful ambassador piglet 'Bella'.  Bella with carer, leading animal behaviouralist Sharon Holden, will be making public appearances to allow people to meet a representative of this unique species.  Together with our celebrity supporters, they will be spreading the message as broadly as possible that these animals desperately need us to care about them and make informed and compassionate choices.

Bella has already been winning hearts over.  Earlier this week Jackie O' and Bella were photographed for a special Christmas edition of New Idea magazine and Jackie and Bella will also be appearing in an article for the Sunday Telegraph in Sydney next Sunday.    As Bella travels from state to state, we will be seeking media opportunities wherever possible to further highlight her 'mission'.

And further wonderful news is that Hollywood actor, James Cromwell, who was nominated for an Academy award for his portrayal of 'Farmer Hoggett' in the movie 'Babe' has also given Animals Australia and savebabe.comhis full support.  James will be flying to Australia in late December making public appearances with Bella to assist the campaign.

Our New South Wales supporters have a wonderful opportunity to meet James Cromwell, piglet Bella, former 'McLeods Daughter's star Napier and actor Marshall Napier ('Harry Ryan' on 'McLeod's Daughters') at a fundraising lunch for the savebabe.com campaign on Sunday 19th December at Mosman. Please contact us asap on 1800 888 584 or at enquiries@animalsaustralia.org  for further details.  We would love to see you there!

The launch of savebabe.com has been timed for the lead up to Christmas knowing that this is a time when messages abound of peace and goodwill to all - yet the reality for animals, is one of increased suffering.  It is also a time when many consumers purchase Christmas hams, completely unaware that they are supporting an industry that is responsible for immense suffering.

Spreading the message of savebabe.com as far and wide as possible is the key to creating change for this unique species.   Billboards and advertisements will appear throughout December.  We have also produced A5 flyers with a beautiful photograph of the savebabe piglet on the front and information about the issue on the back for consumers.   These can be handed out to friends, family, colleagues or to shoppers outside supermarkets.   We have also produce savebabe.com stickers, badges, posters and T shirts.   All can be obtained through calling our office on 1800 888 584 or by email at enquiries@animalsaustralia.org.

Importantly, please encourage everyone you know to visitwww.savebabe.com to learn about this campaign and to read the pleas of our celebrity supporters.

Sincere thanks to all of our supporters for enabling us to launch this campaign.  Together we can work to ensure that savebabe.com provides much needed hope for Bella and her kind in Australia.

For the animals,
Glenys

Executive Director
Animals Australia
