Campaigns
Since 1976, Animal Liberation has been fighting for transparency across all animal-related industries, to enable consumers to make educated choices. While also pushing for an Independent Office of Animal Welfare, the most effective way to reduce our impact and harm on others is to opt for a vegan lifestyle, avoiding the support of any industry that profits off the exploitation of animals.
End the Kangaroo Slaughter
The relentless killing of kangaroos is the largest land-based commercial slaughter of wildlife in the world.
The animal cruelty involved is unconscionable. It is time to recognise this senseless massacre for the national shame and disgrace that it is, and demand the government bring it to an end.
Help kangaroos by calling on your Federal MP to support an end to the slaughter.
Animal Liberation's exposé, 'Breaking the camel's back
Animal Liberation's Australian-first exposé shows wild camels captured, roughly handled, psychologically ‘broken’, and forced into servitude by a popular tourism operator in the Northern Territory.
Our investigation highlights some of the issues inherent in animal-based tourism and the lack of animal welfare regulation and oversight within the industry.
Ban 1080 Poison
1080 poison is a chemical used to kill unwanted or unwelcome wildlife across Australia, and impacts our native species. Death can take anywhere from half an hour to up to 48 hours.
NSW Pound & Shelter Reform
NSW’s publicly funded pound and shelter system is broken - and we want to change that, with your help.
Become a Conscious Consumer
It has never been more important to become a conscious consumer, minimising our impacts on the planet. Over 20 weeks, we give you facts, tips, and alternatives to help you make more ethical lifestyle choices.
Australian Rabbit Farming 2021 Exposé
Shocking new footage released by Animal Liberation reveals egregious and abhorrent cruelty inflicted on domestic rabbits in one of Australia's rabbit farms, Southern Farmed Rabbits in Gippsland, Victoria.
Independent Office of Animal Welfare
Current animal welfare laws exclude farmed animals and legalise animal cruelty. Let’s change that, together.
Drop Dairy
Did you know that only mothers make milk? Learn about why you should drop dairy and get tips to help you make the change!
Oppose Tweed Greyhound Death Track
Shamefully, Australia is the world leader in greyhound death tracks, and of the 64 Australian tracks, 32 are located in NSW.
NSW doesn’t need or want any more greyhound industry death tracks.
Break-Up with Eggs
From the debeaking of females, the live maceration of males, and the gassing of spent layer hens, learn about why you should break-up with eggs today.
Demand Shelter for Farmed Animals
Across Australia, millions of animals are suffering from exposure to the elements because they do not have access to shade or shelter. Let’s change that, together.
Ban Pig Dogging
Pig dogging is a legal blood “sport” that permits dogs to chase and latch onto wild pigs until the hunter catches up and stabs them to death.
Animal Liberation is pushing to ban this cruel and barbaric “sport”.
Demand Water for Ducks
Did you know that ducks are legally farmed without access to open water? Help Animal Liberation fight for ducks by demanding they have access to water.
Ban the whip
The racing industry has created a facade of glamour, but in reality, is founded on the exploitation and abuse of these gentle animals. The most visible element of cruelty to racehorses is the use of the whip.
We’ve monitored the stewards and recorded the number of times jockeys over-whip the horse without being penalised.

Animal Liberation monitors the NSW Horse Racing Steward’s Reports to record how many horses display signs of an unwillingness to race, suffer from injuries or death, collide while running, and are over-whipped.
Rabbit Farming
Animal Liberation exposed two Australian rabbit farms. Both investigations revealed the inherent cruelty associated with breeding and confining rabbits.
Dairy Farming
Learn about the Australian dairy industry including the experiences of the mothers and calves, and why you should drop dairy today.
Egg Farming

Duck Farming
Animal Liberation has exposed multiple Australian duck farms, two in 2012, and one in 2018.

Submission Guides
Reform pounds and shelters in NSW
NSW’s pound and shelter system is broken, as it continues to fail vulnerable animals and the communities who pay for these essential services. Animal Liberation and other animal advocates have been calling for pound and shelter reform for decades — and now is our opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations.
Improve rental laws in NSW
In NSW, landlords can ban companion animals from rental properties for no reason – it’s time to change that.
The NSW Government is seeking to improve laws to support renters, landlords and the community. Better rules for rentals will help give more stability for renters and certainty for landlords.
Object a cattle feedlot
The Central Coast Council (CCC) is calling for submissions in response to the public exhibition of a Development Application (DA) No DA/4247/2022 – an intensive cattle feedlot, with sheds and other associated works.
Now is our chance to stop animal cruelty and suffering before it begins.
Lodge a personalised submission today using our guide.
Submission close 5pm, 6 June 2023.

Submissions are now closed.
Blantyre Farm
Coming soon: Animal Liberation is fighting the development of an intensive pig farm that would imprison 2,200 females to sow stalls.
DPI Hunting review

Submissions are now closed.

Speak up for nature
Like many Australians, we were shocked by the contents of the recent State of the Environment report. While it acknowledges that the pressures of climate change, habitat loss, pollution and mining have had a devastating toll on the Australian environment, much more must be done.
We must show the government that we support strong action to protect Australia's imperilled wildlife and their vulnerable habitat.
Object GRNSW Animal Training and Boarding Facility
It is critical that we maintain our opposition to this proposed development, and continue to advocate for meaningful and transparent outcomes for discarded NSW racing greyhounds.
