It's one step closer to transparency, accountability and ending convenience killing.

We can never bring Murphy back. But we can make his legacy to ensure what happened to him never happens to any other animals.

This is the same bill Emma has been standing against from the start. It wasn’t shelved, just delayed and now it’s back.

This bill threatens animal welfare, public safety and gun control. We need everyone ready to fight back.

The inquiry also recommends enhanced inspections, public awareness campaigns, and support for farmers transitioning to more humane practices. This landmark report, led by Georgie Purcell MP , set a new standard for pig welfare in Victoria and demonstrates the impact of AJP’s advocacy.

Key outcomes include banning sow stalls and farrowing crates, installing mandatory CCTV in piggeries and processing facilities, adopting humane alternatives to blunt force euthanasia, supporting cultivated meat, and establishing an Independent Office of Animal Protection.

📣 Demand Reforms for Victorian Shelters!

Murphy was 12 weeks old when he, his mother, and littermate were killed by the Lost Dogs Home. 💔

The future of Milly, their sibling, is uncertain.

Their “behavioural issues” were based on genetics, timidness and supposed “risk of developing aggression".

MT. VIEW RAW (2022-2025)

Three-year-old Mt. View Raw fell and suffered a right humerus fracture at Ballarat, Victoria, last week.

She was euthanised at the track.

How many more dogs have to die for entertainment?

Please share if you agree this industry should be shut down.

ANIMALS LET DOWN

A puppy like Tiger can be found starving and emaciated, and the people responsible can still walk away with a fine – and permission to keep another dog.

The WA government must support Amanda Dorn MP's bill to create an Independent Office of Animal Protection.
