 For the past five weeks, SAFE and fellow animal groups have been lobbying for pigs with all their might and resources. The deadline to have your say ends this Friday. If you only do one thing this week for animals, make it spending the next 60-seconds completing an online submission and sending an email to all your friends to do the same. It is our last chance to ban cruel sow and farrowing crates. The pigs need you NOW!

PIGGERY LOCK DOWN Activists from Open Rescue, the group who supplied SAFE with the footage that appeared on Close Up, staged a daring yet successful lock-down protest at one of the piggeries exposed. Check out the media stories. |

NATIONAL RALLIES FOR PIGS A 48-hour Freedom for Pigs vigil, a daring lock-down on a piggery, nationwide stalls and postcard signings, as well as multiple pig farm exposés that have revealed widespread pig suffering on pig farms. These are the activities that resulted in over 20 media stories recently, including a live debate on Close Up. |
