The fact that fish feel pain is well documented. Yet the magnitude of the uninvestigated and unaddressed suffering in Tasmania's salmon farming industry is almost unfathomable. This week we lodged a landmark legal complaint to try to change that.

We see them, and we know you do too.

She showed us all what it means to live with empathy, courage, and hope 🧡

Thank you, Gloria Steinem. The world is a kinder place because you were here. May you rest knowing that the change you fought for lives on in a global movement for social justice.

BREAKING NEWS: Forestry Corporation NSW has once again pushed back their plans for logging in Glenbog Forest, this time until February 2027.

February will be upon us before we know it. We can’t afford to take the pressure off even for a moment — the animals are relying on us to end this for good.

This is not the news we had hoped to be bringing you.

Change is rarely the work of a single moment — it's made by people willing to keep showing up. Thank you for showing up again and again for animals. ❤️‍🩹

Bred to be raced, confined, exported, injured and discarded when they're no longer 'profitable'.

Born to be loved for the gentle, loyal, loving individuals they are.

Greyhounds — like every dog — are companions, not commodities.

As this chapter closes across the Tasman, the message for Australia couldn't be clearer: we must be next. Join us in calling for an end to greyhound racing in Australia by sending a message to your local MP today: https://animalsaus.co/4hHknAs

The H5 strain of bird flu has reached Australia. Governments are taking emergency action to stop its spread.

Yet they still support recreational shooting of native birds — driving terrified animals from the habitats meant to protect them.

You can't protect wildlife while supporting its slaughter.

Bird flu is now on the Australian mainland.

Many will focus on eggs and industry impacts. We're thinking about the animals.

Around the world, this strain has killed hundreds of millions of birds. And it's intensive animal production systems that helped create the conditions for its spread.

On #BanLiveExports Awareness Day, we honour every animal still caught in this cruel trade.

Until *every* live export ship is empty, our work is not done.

Today, more than 1M readers of The Age & Herald Sun newspapers will see our full-page open letter. Because native ducks are paying the price for a regulator that has failed them — and now the Allan Government wants to give that agency even more power. ACT: https://animalsaus.co/4eyezqX

This should not need saying.

Native ducks and the people who rescue them deserve better than a government agency with one foot in 'regulation' and the other in promotion.

Victoria's duck shooting watchdog is run by duck shooters. Now the state govt wants to give it *more* power. Don't let it happen: https://animalsaus.co/4eyezqX
ACT NOW: Stop dangerous new hunting ‘superagency’
Wildlife rescuers could be jailed. Duck shooters could get more power.

Disturbing footage from @geelongduckrescue.bsky.social: a shooter tries to kill a native duck by firing at point-blank range. With shattered bones she can't escape him and almost drowns as he tries — and fails — to kill her. Can you imagine her pain & fear? 💔

URGENT: Act now: animalsaus.co/4eyezqX

The ‘season’ for shooting on Victoria’s wetlands is now over for the year, but our fight for ducks is not.

Whistleblowers have reported that officers within Victoria's duck shooting regulator openly identify as duck shooters themselves. Fresh allegations of misconduct and bullying have now been confirmed by a damning ABC investigation. Read more & act urgently: animalsaus.co/4x6qpQw

Every duck shooting season, wildlife rescue volunteers wade into Victorian wetlands to save injured native birds left for dead by shooters. If the Outdoor Recreation Bill passes, they could face jail time for doing so. animalsaus.co/4x6qpQw

Victoria's duck shooting 'regulator' promotes the very activity it's supposed to oversee. The Allan Govt wants to make it official — a hunting 'superagency' with even greater powers. An ABC exposé confirms it: conflicted and compromised.
