If you believe the propaganda, there are three organisations at the fore front of Australia’s animal advocacy movement, Animals Australia, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Animal Liberation franchise.
As we know, the RSPCA through it’s national governing body is more interested in ensuring that animal agribusiness complies with the respective State/Territory based animal welfare legislation. They also occasionally make media statements to highlight what they see are shortfalls in the current Model Codes of Practice.
Animals Australia, whilst people seem to think that they are there ‘for the animals’, their track record seems to indicate that they aren’t there so much ‘for the animals’, as they are for increasing awareness of their brand. I am still baffled that all of Australia’s alleged vegan organisations are still supporting Animals Australia, despite them virtually condemning veganism and acknowledging that they are not about telling people what to eat or wear.
This leaves the various branches Animal Liberation franchise to be the champions for the plight of other animals.
