		<description><![CDATA[As a leading European expert on animal welfare, Peter describes Australia’s live export trade as “the world’s worst”. He explains that conditions in Indonesian abattoirs could not have improved in just one month and that the resumption of trade was met with shock in Europe.

In Australia for Voiceless’s Animal Law Lecture Series, Peter discusses European Union (EU) bans on some factory farming practices and how this cruelty continues in Australia. He suggests that better animal welfare can actually be more profitable for farmers and that changing consumer sentiments are driving more ethical products in Europe.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We need you to the be the voice for jumps horses.  Especially with a new government and a new season upon us, we need your help writing to the respective decision makers.  Personal letters carry great weight and the more these stakeholders receive, the more they are likely to listen to our concerns.  In your own words, be an advocate for jumps racing horses by detailing the issues.

A demonstration will be held by the Coalition For The Protection of Jumps Racehorses in Bourke St Mall, Melbourne at midday on Friday 6 May, 2011

		<description><![CDATA[Pets Haven Pro Life Animal Shelter is a facility that re-homes orphan cats, kittens and dogs and puppies who would otherwise have no future.

They do not euthanise animals for economic reasons. The only time an animal will be euthanised is in the case of aggressive temperament (with no hope for rehabilitation) or the animal is extremely unwell and the prognosis is not favourable.

Animals are rescued from death row pounds and are kept at Pets Haven shelter while waiting to be adopted into a new home.

		<description><![CDATA[Lesely Dewar is one of my fav people online. She totally confronts any stereotype of an older gurl out of touch with technology. I wish I could hang out with her so she can teach me all her social media tips and tricks. She's a campaigner for animals and the ocean and I love her @nanastories and @lesleydewar1 tweets. She sent me a message to Save More Whales in 2011;. and thart we will! xx

		<description><![CDATA[Animal "Crush" Video Awareness Week - STOPCrush.org

Change your profile picture to an image in support of making ANIMAL CRUSH VIDEOS illegal again. This photo does NOT have to be graphic or even one of ours. With HR 5566 being part of lame duck voting sessions which would make these videos BANNED in the US, this is a very important time and event.

		<description><![CDATA[Animals in all shape and sizes humble us. Even the little mouse that has inhabited our home makes me smile. Not because she poos everywhere and eats our cheese and chocolate. It's because she is small, vulnerable and like us all scurries around just trying to survive. Each time you help an animal cause you help humanity understand the great chain of connections we have to each other and the richness we all share while alive. Loving animals is a sign of loving ourselves.]]></description>
