Be a Voice for Animals

Victoria has had a cabinet reshuffle. LFA encourage all our supporters to contact the new ministers and let them know your concerns animals and how humans interact with them. LFA strongly encourages our supporters to express concerns about duck killing.

The newest ministers are:
Shaun Leane – shaun.leane@parliament.vic.gov.au

Attached below is a link to a draft letter that particularly focuses on duck shooting and was prepared by our colleagues at RVOTDS which you can personalise.

Mulesing

Mulesing is performed annually on over 20 million Australian Merino lambs. It involves taking a crescent-shaped slice of skin (5-7 cm) from either buttock (the ‘breach’) of a sheep, without anaesthetic, and results in abnormal behaviour for up to three days.

Despite industry’s promise to phase-out mulesing by 2010, many retailers throughout Europe have boycotted Australian wool due to overwhelming consumer concern.

More humane alternatives to surgical mulesing, such as intradermal injections prompting fleece to fall away from the breach (permanently) through a process of necrosis, are currently not receiving the support they require from Australia’s wool industry.
