About Animal Liberation
The aim of Animal Liberation is to change the way animals are treated. Animals are not objects to be exploited for the profit and pleasure of humans. They are individuals with feelings and lives of their own.
Animal Liberation is concerned about all animals. We are just as concerned about fish as about dolphins, and just as concerned about pigs as about dogs and cats. They all have feelings, and they all deserve respect and consideration.
For more details about our policies, go to Policies, for more details about the reasons behind our beliefs, go to Concern for all Animals .
Animal Liberation (SA) uses a variety of non-violent methods to change people's attitudes and behaviour.
-
We lobby politicians to change laws, for example, to stop duck shooting.
-
We organise letter writing campaigns, for example, to Proctor and Gamble to stop animal testing. Go to Letters to write if you want to support this campaign.
-
We hold peaceful protests, for example, against animal circuses and rodeos. We aim to get media coverage of our actions to get our message across to as many people as possible.
-
We distribute information on cruelty-free living, such as lists of companies who don't test on animals, and information on vegetarianism. Go to Vegetarianism - the cruelty-free diet and Cruelty-free products for further information.
-
We provide information on many cruelty issues for student projects. We also supply videos and speakers to schools and other organisations, and set up displays in public libraries.
We have regularly rescued wounded ducks left by shooters at Bool Lagoon. On the whole, though, our group is not set up to rescue abused animals or to prosecute people who have been cruel. Legally this is the job of the RSPCA.
We have investigated anonymous tip-offs, for example, of cruelty in the chicken industry, and of illegal fox hunting with horses and hounds in the Adelaide Hills. Good media stories exposing the cruelty came out of these investigations.
More recently, we have taken video footage inside a battery hen shed to expose the dreadful conditions on television. We also rescued 6 hens for veterinary treatment.

All Animal Liberation (SA) members get a newsletter every 2 months to let them know what's happening in South Australia. Every 3 months they get the glossy national magazine Animals Today which has stories about important animal issues around Australia. We keep our members well informed!
