We're AACTive

Recent Protests & Events

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

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 ended for another year but 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.

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. We recently drew attention to the grizzly items made of real fur at the Grizzly Hats stall with a colourful action. 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.
