Actions speak louder than words - here’s your chance to TAKE ACTION against LIVE EXPORT here in SA
South Australians always seem to come to the fore when the RSPCA needs help. Responding to blanket appeals, giving Christmas donations, attending fundraising events. Knowing that people genuinely want to help the RSPCA’s animals is amazing.
South Australia, we’re calling on you again. This time it’s a big ask, millions of animals are suffering and we can stop it. In Australia, over 4 million sheep and 618,000 cattle are suffering through, or dying because of, long distance transport.
It’s not a nice thing to talk about.. but that’s exactly what we’re doing.
The Handle With Care coalition is a group of animal welfare organisations from around the world committed to stopping the atrocities of live export. To do this we must educate, debate and take mass action.
Following two highly successful Handle With Care forums in Brisbane and Melbourne, the RSPCA have decided it is time South Australians had an opportunity to discuss and debate the issue of live export, and explore how to take action. Together we can stop this horrific, archaic practice.
The Forum will be held on October 8 to coincide with RSPCA awareness week.
It will take place at Way Hall, Pitt St, Adelaide starting from 6:30pm and running until about 8pm.
A panel consisting of four experts including Animals Australia crusader Glenys Oogles, and RSPCA stalwart Hugh Wirth.
There will be a video presentation highlighting the atrocities of the trade. This will include the infamous Animals Australia footage taken in the Middle East and shown, in part on 60 minutes and a number of ABC programs.
Myths will be exposed, facts will be presented and you will have the opportunity to voice your opinion.
Hugh Wirth will give and inspiring, indepth run down on how you can take action.
It’s time to take action SA, not words, actions… Choose, for an hour and a half, to make a difference.
