PLEASE JOIN US IN SIGNING A PETITION TO END THE LETHAL MANAGEMENT OF BRUMBIES
The Government’s policy of using lethal management on wild-living brumbies is based on flawed population counts, and false claims of damage and does not recognise the Heritage value of brumbies.
We recently wrote about inaccuracies in reporting of Brumby numbers and how governments are ignoring science when it comes to the cruel, inhumane culling of Brumbies both from the ground and from the air. You can read more here about how science is being ignored - and about recent massacres of Brumbies here.
Demand an import suspension of cruelly produced horsemeat from overseas!
Change the cruel Land Transport Standards for horses
The Land Transport of Livestock Standards 2012 need to be changed to prevent this inhumane truck ride for horses from Victoria trucked to Queensland to be slaughtered for human consumption. This truck ride of 1550 kms across 3 states is a cruel end to their lives, no water, no feed, no break -it is almost 22 hours from loading until unloading at the abattoir and then further hours of no water until slaughter. A horse consumes about 25 litres of water each day. This cruelty is in contravention of the Queensland Animal Care and Protection Act which seeks to protect animals from unjustifiable, unnecessary or unreasonable pain.
These horses were once a loved companion, a racehorse that tried their best to please their humans, they were trained to form relationships of love and trust with their humans. Now they have been cast away as wastage from trainers or syndicates, from people who can’t cope with the ravages of drought, not realising that the greedy meat buyers seek to profit from the dead bodies of their beloved companion.
Please sign and share this petition so we can get the Transport Standards changed.
In 2020, the Melbourne Cup claimed another victim with racehorse Anthony Van Dyck suffering a horrendous injury that ultimately cost him his life.
This tale of tragedy is a familiar one. On average 1 race horse dies every 3 days on Australian tracks, with the majority of deaths happening right here in NSW.
And it’s not just deaths on the track that are rife within this industry – all too often ex-racehorses are slaughtered in knackeries when they can no longer turn a profit for their owners and trainers. In fact here in NSW new evidence has shown racehorses reported to include Madame Frost, Pending Decision, Sunday Poet, and Denman Dame have all died in knackeries just this year. We can’t let these horses die in vain – that’s why we need your help to take action.
Our MP Mark Pearson will has introduced a bill to the NSW Parliament this month that will end this cruelty, by making the industry accountable and transparent, and seeking a ban on sending horses to knackeries or slaughterhouses.
Sign this petition today and join us in telling NSW Racing Minister Kevin Anderson that it’s time to put the protection of horses above the profit and greed of the racing industry.
STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF ENDANGERED KOALAS’ HABITAT IN NEW ENGLAND, NSW, AUSTRALIA – BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.
Koalas are listed as an endangered species on Australia’s east coast. Surely the survival of this international icon is worthy of a global effort
Koalas have gone from no-listing to vulnerable to endangered within a decade.
That is a shockingly fast decline.
The New England area has been designated by the government of New South Wales, Australia as an ARC for the preservation of endangered koalas – yet precious woodland habitats are bulldozed and disappearing daily.
#MOHM THREATENED?
We’ve been threatened by those in the horse racing industry and those who benefit from horse slaughter more times than we can count.
But we are not going away.
We are going to persist until horse slaughter no longer exists for any purpose within Australia -- and until the horse racing industry makes drastic changes.
We are going to continue our hands-on work to offer lifelong sanctuary to as many horses as possible. We generally have 20 at just one of our locations - at any given time.
We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
