Get On Board
It's time to give live sheep exports the boot. Please sign up to the RSPCA's campaign to end the cruel live export of sheep for slaughter.
2009 has been a turning point for our campaign to end live sheep exports. Thanks to economic work we commissioned by ACIL Tasman, we now know that farmers don't need the trade to make a living and in fact Australia is losing rural jobs because of it.
ACIL Tasman revealed that ending live sheep exports will not significantly impact farmers or the economy, will immediately create jobs in Australia, and will boost our sheep meat exports (which are already four times more valuable to the economy than live sheep exports).
The RSPCA has laid out a positive way forward that will secure farmers livelihoods, boost the economy and importantly, end the suffering of four million sheep every year.
Thousands of Australians are on board already. Thanks to their support we were able to publish this letter to the Prime Minister in The Australian on 21 November, 2009.
Help us keep the pressure on. Every signature makes a difference because it means we can demonstrate the growing public opposition to this cruel trade in live sheep.
Can you spare a few moments to Get on board so they don't have to?
