A new independent report shows greyhound racing in Western Australia is draining public value, while dogs and the community continue to bear the cost.

URGENT: In a matter of weeks, Tasmania’s upper house will decide whether greyhound racing is phased out. Tasmania, speaking up right now matters. The vote will be close. Every message counts: https://animalsaus.co/4d7RNWT

Thank you to everyone with the courage to be the change they wish to see 🧡

Thank you to the helpers ❤️‍🩹

Senedd (Parliament) Regional Member Jane Dodds said “by passing this bill, we will be saying as a nation that forseeable and unavoidable harm to animals cannot be justified in the name of sport or in the service of gambling revenues.” 🧡👏

South Australia friends: Only days away from the state election, do you know where the parties stand on key animal protection issues? Our friends from Australian Alliance for Animals have put together this handy scorecard: Full guide available on their website: https://bit.ly/47HnId1

83 days of senseless slaughter of Victoria's native waterbirds has officially begun. 💔 Speak up for wildlife urgently: https://animalsaus.co/4jRrqp3

Precious native animals shot, maimed and terrorised for 'fun'.

There is so much joy in sharing kindness. 🧡

Wombats in the ACT could lose their protected status and be legally killed. Help stop this dangerous change before it becomes law. https://animalsaus.co/3P03STP

There’s still time to stop this. Speak up for pigs now: https://animalsaus.co/4k1h4Dj

He can’t lay eggs, so his life is thrown away 💔 While it may seem obvious that only female chickens can lay eggs, most people have never considered what happens to the males who hatch in the egg industry — they’re killed in their first day of life.

Many Australians think they have stopped buying cage eggs, without realising that most cage eggs aren’t sold in cartons. Take a quiz to find out if you are accidentally buying cage eggs, and order your FREE guide to giving all hens a life worth living: https://animalsaus.co/3ZGzujz

Most caring Australians would never knowingly buy cage eggs. But more than half of all cage eggs never reach a carton — they’re hidden in every day foods. We're shining a light on these ‘hidden eggs’ with our new ad campaign, now playing on major radio networks and popular podcasts. Listen here ▶️

As volunteer vets and wildlife carers fight to save survivors of the devastating fires throughout Victoria, the government has other plans — to decimate hundreds of thousands of native species by allowing another ‘recreational’ duck shooting season. Speak up now: https://animalsaus.co/4jRrqp3

Fires burn with terrifying speed, but recovery takes time. There is a long road ahead, and thanks to you, we will stay with animals every step of the way.

What if the science meant to help us is causing harm we never see? A groundbreaking documentary will air this week at Sydney’s Antenna Film Festival, revealing a hidden world where outdated and unreliable science is harming animals — and people too. antennafestival.org/films/sentie...

It's time for their stories to be told. Four years in the making, and including world-first vision contributed by Animals Australia, the groundbreaking new documentary 'Sentient' has premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. This is just the beginning.

BREAKING: Late last year the Supreme Court decided our case challenging the routine and horrific gassing of pigs in Australian slaughterhouses would not proceed to trial. We have now decided to appeal. An application was filed in the Supreme Court late last week, and the process is now underway.

High temperatures are forecast across large parts of Australia this weekend and into next week. Please remember to put water bowls out everywhere you can 💦

Media coverage of fires, floods and other disasters always speaks of “livestock losses”. The lives of tens of thousands of animals reduced to financial assets. But they were more than “stock”. They were individuals. Individuals who were trapped and terrified. Individuals who suffered.💔

Bushfire response update ⛑️❤️‍🩹

An update on our bushfire response ❤️‍🩹🙏

Although fireworks are a favourite among humans, they can be pretty terrifying for our furry and feathered friends. Here are a few things you can do to make sure your best friends are kept safe on NYE ✨👉 https://animalsaus.co/3TCNLfd

Many of us will be spending time with family in the coming days - with people who love us and make us feel safe. Just like us, kangaroos form strong and complex family bonds. But these gentle families are being torn apart after the sun goes down across their homeland 💔

Greyhound racing at Wentworth Park in Sydney will come to an end, with the state government announcing that the track will be demolished in late 2027. The area will instead become community sporting grounds and a park, as the racing industry concedes ‘the world has moved on’. 📝🧡🐾

BREAKING: ALDI has announced it will not meet its commitment for 100% cage-free eggs this year, pushing back to 2030. 💔 The move is sadly in line with Coles and Woolworths, who both also announced delays in September. Help us take action for hens now: https://animalsaus.co/45uOyF0

Our team provided input to so many legal reform processes in 2025! 📝 It’s not work that makes the headlines, but each submission is a chance to make sure animals have their welfare, and their rights, considered by decision makers. Each is a step towards transformative change! 🙌

@animalsaustralia.bsky.social In the lead-up to Christmas, pigs need heroes now more than ever. 💞

This week we appeared in the Supreme Court for our landmark legal challenge on behalf of pigs, and we’re sorry to say it didn’t go as we’d hoped. Thank you for standing with us as we pursue justice for them. We will keep you updated on our next steps, but it's fair to say, this is far from over.

HUGE NEWS: The national public health agency of the United States, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is putting an end to its use of monkeys in experiments. This is a powerful precedent for animals in labs worldwide, whose suffering is so often hidden from public view. ❤️‍🩹

Living beings are not gifts for Christmas. They are family for life.

What is your message and how do you live it?

Right now, the WA Parliament is conducting a public inquiry into greyhound racing, and your submission could shape the future for thousands of dogs. It only takes 10 minutes. Please make your submission today: https://animalsaus.co/47AmRvg Thank you 🫶

The Tasmanian government has introduced legislation to parliament to end greyhound racing by mid-2029. In August, the government announced it would stop funding greyhound racing, effectively putting an end to it. This legislation takes this a step further to see the industry officially banned.

Closer every day, because caring people like you will not let their suffering go unnoticed and unchallenged.

Did you know that an Australian ‘game meat’ business wants government approval to keep killing wallabies and their joeys to export their fur, skin and flesh overseas? Learn more & speak up here: animalsaustralia.org/our-work/wil...

What will you choose?

What happens when the race that stops the nation also stops you from seeing the horses that don’t finish?

The way things were are not always the way things should be. We can’t change the past. But we can shape a kinder future.

Imagine thinking that beating an animal with a whip was *ever* 'ok'. The horse racing industry accepts this abuse as 'normal'.

Looking for lollies that are animal-friendly AND delicious. We've got you covered 🍭😋

Heartbroken to confirm Dr Mu’ath Abu Rakba, a skilled, compassionate vet with @sulalaanimalsaver.bsky.social, has been killed. He disappeared last week trying to return to his home in Gaza. Dr Mu’ath, thank you. You gave peace to so many who suffered. May you now find that same peace. 💔

We all have more in common than differences that set us apart. We all long for companionship, compassion, and respect. We are all deserving of lives free from abuse.

Just days after the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, Sulala Animal Rescue’s dedicated veterinarian, Dr Mu’ath Abu Rakba, has been reported missing, and several members of his family have been killed. 💔 We hold hope in our hearts that he will be found safe and well.

They deserve to be here, and they deserve to be safe. 🧡
