Ban Live Export

The live export industry is one of cruelty and suffering for exported animals. From the moment they are herded onto the death ships, these animals spend weeks standing painfully in their own excrement, struggling to find a space to lie down or access food and water.

Forty years of government reports and media exposés have shone a light on this shameful industry. Who can forget the image of a newborn lamb drowning in filth or a ewe being cooked alive from the heat?

Exporting live animals to any country is cruel, cannot be made humane and is neither ethically or economically justifiable. The Animal Justice Party opposes the commercial export – whether by sea or air – of live animals, including cows, sheep, buffaloes, camels, alpacas, goats, horses and greyhounds.

 Heartwarming moment dozens of lost pets and livestock are taken in by Aussies after being  swept away in disastrous floods - including calves, guinea pigs and terrified pups

By Carina Stathis For Daily Mail Australia 01:30 04 Mar 2022, updated 03:18 04 Mar 2022

• Australians impacted by floods are finding dozens of lost pets and lifestock 
• Dogs, cats, guinea pigs and birds have been saved from flooded homes 
• Horses, cows, chickens and ducks have been found on doorsteps and rescued 
• For two weeks NSW and QLD has been hit with heavy rain causing flooding 
• Thousands have had to evacuate their homes and leave all possessions  

Australians are rescuing countless lost pets and livestock stranded in northern New South Wales after they were swept away from their owners in disastrous floods.

The Lismore community has banded together in support to find the lost animals by creating a Facebook group to share updates with desperate owners online.

So far dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, horses, cows, chickens and ducks have been rescued from the floodwaters, but most of the animals still need to be reunited with their owners.

David Attenborough: It could soon be too late to tackle climate change

Attenborough said leading nations had a duty to help poorer countries because industrialisation had been one of the major factors in driving climate change.

• It will be too late to tackle the climate crisis if the COP26 summit is not a success, British naturalist David Attenborough warned world leaders.
• The summit in Glasgow is of vital importance to unify actions to limit the effects of climate change.
• The U.N. said greenhouse gas concentrations had hit a record last year and the world was "way off track" in capping rising temperatures.

British naturalist David Attenborough warned world leaders it would be too late to tackle climate change if a U.N. climate summit in Scotland does not succeed, and said richer nations had a moral responsibility to act.

Britain has cast the United Nations COP26 climate conference which began in Glasgow on Oct. 31 as the last big chance to slow rising temperatures, and hopes to persuade leaders to adopt tougher climate targets.

Attenborough, 95, told the BBC it would be "really catastrophic" if richer nations failed to support poorer ones, and time was running out.

"Every day that goes by in which we don't do something about it is a day wasted," he said. "If we don't act now, it'll be too late."

The U.N. said greenhouse gas concentrations had hit a record last year and the world was "way off track" in capping rising temperatures.
