Many people would by now know about the floating coffin, The Bahijah, the ship left Fremantle on the 5th of January and sailed into a war zone. It was turned around and sailed back to Fremantle and arrived back on Tuesday, still with the 14000 sheep and 2000 cows onboard.
Finally last night (Friday 2/2) our unsympathetic agriculture department decided to take “some” of the sheep off and today removed some of the cows.

This is absolutely appalling, the Live Animal Export industry is laden with abuse but this is extremely savage!
How on earth can any human even remotely think this acceptable - but Murray Watt - Australia’s agriculture minister and Anthony Albanese - the one who promised to phase out Live Animal Export, but instead reopened the Live Animal Export trade to Saudi Arabia, have been rolling a dice regarding the future of these animals.
We can only hope that with this diabolical event Anthony Albanese will now take a stand and phase out the Live Sheep Export at the very least….but don’t hold your breath, it seems Mr Albanese is  intent to drag it out until he is on the clock for the next election…cough, cough.

So on Tuesday the 30th January when the ship was anchored just out of Fremantle between 150-200 people went to the Fremantle wharf to show support for the sheep and cattle on this floating oven. There were a few media reps there but it seemed they were more focused on getting the exporters story and not the truth…

I’m asking people to email the Fremantle Mayor, Hannah Fitzhardinge and Murray Watt to let them know how you feel about Live Animal Export, their email addresses are mayor@fremantle.wa.gov.au and senator.watt@aph.gov.au
If you need a hand please contact me and I’ll do what I can to help, please don’t stress if I don’t reply immediately, don’t stress I have been so busy but eventually I’ll get to you.
Stand Against Live Animal Exports still has Anna-Lisa helping out in WA but she is doing behind the scenes work instead. Maddison is extremely busy with other projects so is not coming onboard with SALE. I am considering flying to Perth next year to do a protest but it depends on many things, the cost will be massive but I would like to do it. 

Stand Against Live Animal Exports Tees and Caps can only be purchased from me so  If you want to buy Tees or Caps, you need to contact me. 0435 798 270 or sunlily36@gmail.com 

Possible Canberra Bus Trip…25th June 24.
The idea is the bus would leave Sydney Central Station at 6am, it will stop for breakfast at Sally’s Corner then continue on to ACT, once there we will occupy the 2 exits to the Lodge - it will all be carried out legally, we would then go to Parliament House and stand outside on the lawn and possibly hold banners up on the footbridge to Parliament House ( still trying to find out what’s legal and what’s not). After this the coach would take us to Majura Park outlet mall for an hour or so.
The coach is going to cost $1375, I’m happy to cover $1000 but this means the $375 would be covered by the passengers, the more passengers the lower the fare. But I would need a definite by end of February and full payment by the end of March. So if you’re interested, please let me know asap.

Sydney Awareness Day is the 16th of March, I’m not too sure if there will be a protest march yet, I’ve applied for it but I just need to know how many people would possibly be marching..
Otherwise the usual 11:30 at Town Hall… Please share this petition asking your family and friends to sign. Lisa
