Our team of campaigners has been working tirelessly to raise your voice in conversations with governments, at industry meetings, and various places where decisions are made that affect animals.
We want to give you a peek behind the curtain to show you exactly how your support powers this work. From lobbying for stronger protections to showing up at key events across Australia, your compassion is the spark behind every action we take.
Take a look at all the wonderful behind-the-scenes work you made possible recently:

Donate to protect animals
Every animal deserves a life worth living – from caged bears suffering in cruel bile farms, to mother pigs who are forced to endure unimaginable suffering on factory farms.
From government submissions to media interviews, here are the many ways that YOU advocated for animals in the last few months:
🐬 Together, we raised our voices for dolphins at the 13th annual #EmptyTheTanks protest outside Sea World on the Gold Coast.
🐘 You also helped us raise awareness about the suffering hidden behind captive wildlife attractions at the Travel Daze Conference.
🎧 And if that weren’t enough, you helped us feature on the ABC Nightlife Podcast to shine a light on the ethics of wildlife tourism.
