Fwd: Thanks to You: Hope for Millions of Animals!

November 5, 2007

National Day of Action: November 10th Donate Now Action Centre ABOVE: Animals Australia investigator Lyn White in the Middle East Dear Friends, We are writing to share with you a sign of hope for the millions of animals exported live from Australian shores—thanks to you. Just yesterday on ABC's Landline

program, Federal opposition spokesman for agriculture Kerry O'Brien announced that "...of all the issues on which I receive correspondence from the Australian public, live exports is THE ISSUE on which I receive an overwhelming weight of negative correspondence." And it's no surprise. Footage from Animals Australia's Middle East investigations have awakened Australians to the horrors of live export. The most recent investigation footage which aired on ABC's 7:30 Report, sparked the greatest viewer feedback to their website ever—all calling for an end to the trade. Senator O'Brien continued: "If it comes to the point where the Australian public do not accept that animal welfare concerns

are properly being met, governments of any persuasion will be faced with a difficult decision and will probably be almost forced to shut it down." Now more than ever, it is vitally important that all Australians who care about animals see this video. You can click here to send it to everyone you know.

O’Brien for acknowledging that the Australian community will not accept animal cruelty in the name of profit, and that an informed public should be listened to, rather than quelled with industry-driven propaganda!
