We're AACTive

Recent Protests & Events

AACT has organised many actions and events over the last twelve months, below are a few examples:

AACT has been following the rodeo circuit and documenting what is happening. We hope to post some video soon.

AnimalFest 2011 was a great success and thanks must go to all those involved in putting it together, to those who spoke and played music, and to everyone who helped in some way. The many visitors to the event enjoyed the festive atmosphere and learned something more about compassionate and respectul treatment of non-human animals. And many are already looking forward to the next AnimalFest!

We continue to have a presence at Salamanca Markets each month with our animal advocacy information and animal-friendly mechandise. Check out the new t-shirts, badges and wristbands. Come by and visit our stall, or volunteer some time to help us out. See the What's On page for dates.

The annual killing seasons have been happening year after year and we are still fighting the widespread Tasmanian War on Wildlife. This includes killing of Forester Kangaroos, Brushtail Possums, native ducks, Short-tailed Shearwaters, and Brown Quail.

In February we had a great info stall at the UTAS Student Lifestyle Expo featuring videos about intensive animal farming and duck shooting that attracted many viewers.

In January we had a very successful stall for two days of the Cygnet Folk Festival.

See "What's On" for details of upcoming stalls or fundraising activities.

Ban Animal Testing Billboard Banned!

A single complaint by a member of the public has lead the Advertising Standards Bureau to order us to remove a billboard calling for an end to animal testing. There is an article here where you can leave a comment about this outrageous situation

Stop the Annual Slaughter

The Shearwater slaughter is happening now, and so is the killing of native ducks. Brown Quail are next on the list. Speak out against the annual killing seasons in Tasmania. (Go to the AACT Now section at the bottom of the page in the links above.)

Fur Cruelty in Hobart

The cruelty of fur is well known to most but few realise it is being sold in the heart of Hobart at Salamanca Markets. Contact Hobart City Council now and demand that Hobart goes Fur Free.

Eat Compassionately to End Cruelty

Eating flesh of non-human animals, and their lactation fluids (dairy) equates to cruelty and suffering. All "foods" derived from non-human animals are the result of exploitation. Eschew animal products to end animal cruelty. Read more...

Help Ban Live Export

Recent national rallies and the airing of shocking footage on Four Corners and Lateline have brought to the attention of many people the real and extreme cruelty of live exports. Continue the push for an end to this brutal industry. Read more...
