Is the ABC a credible news organisation or a propagandist for the horse torture industry? This collection of obits for Black Caviar fails to mention the role played by her relentless exploitation in her death. No wonder there's no byline on it abc.net.au/news/2024-08-1…

A huge thank you to all who joined to say #NupToTheCup at Martin Place today! 🐴❤️ The Melbourne Cup, and horse racing in general, is a multi-billion-dollar industry that cashes in on animal exploitation. Together, we can give horses a life worth living.

‘Tourist’s ‘cute’ video ignites fierce debate’. Great story that shows how community attitudes towards handling captive wildlife are changing. See wild animals in the wild, where they belong news.com.au/travel/travel-…

My column. Fire at will, see if I care. It's time to shut down greyhound racing, for good. It's being banned all over the world, but in NSW they are proppping it up! Why are the politicians so weak-kneed on it? #NSWpol smh.com.au/sport/kiwis-ar…

Despite the extensive suffering cattle endure on feedlots, the beef industry has openly stated that it will increase the number of feedlots. worldanimalprotection.org.au/education/repo…

Katherine Wilson’s piece about croc farming is a must read: “ Saltwater crocodile farming in the Northern Territory has been lauded for saving the species from near extinction. The real story, however, is one of criminality, animal cruelty and exploitation” 🐊🐊
