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".

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.

Heatstroke can lead to organ damage (including brain damage) or death, so it is crucial to NEVER leave a dog unattended in a car.

Your dog will quickly experience the symptoms of heatstroke, such as excessive panting, staggering or vomiting.

3/5

Animal Justice Party @animaljusticeparty.bsky.social · 7d

A dog can die in a hot car in as little as six minutes, as the interior temperature rises rapidly and can reach dangerous levels - even on mild days.

SIX MINUTES FROM DEATH

There is no safe way to leave your dog in your car.

Even a vehicle parked in the shade or with a window lowered can quickly turn into an oven.

On a 23-degree Celsius day, the temperature inside a car can reach over 40 degrees Celsius.
