Ideas for Action

 

  • Buy and use only free range, humanly killed animals and animal products.
  • Go viral! Put it on Facebook and through your networks.
  • Talk to your favourite restaurant, let them know it's coming up, ask them to join in, and then eat there.
  • Talk to your supermarket, local store, farmer, butcher, ask them where things come from, the process from farm to table.
  • Eat less meat and choose humane options when you do.
  • ...more ideas for action

    Let's start a movement!

    August for Animals - let's start a movement!
    If you are concerned about cruelty to the animals we eat… if you want to see it change but have felt powerless to act………… now you can make a MASSIVE difference.

    Join in for August for Animals…. Make the choice that makes the difference!
    As consumers we have enormous power. The question is how do we use that power?

    • Every time we buy cage laid eggs, battery farmed chickens, pigs raised in stalls, feedlot cattle, force fed geese or from a live export supplier we are actively, yes actively, supporting that industry.
    • If we stop supporting that industry it will have to change.
    •  It's kind of simple really...if we don't buy it no one will sell it.
    •  If we buy something else the market will adjust to supply it.
    •  What we choose to buy makes the difference.

     

    The key to our power as consumers is focusing our energy and pulling in the same direction at the same time.

    Individually we are like a solitary match, united we are a bushfire!

    August for Animals is when we do this. In August make the choice that makes the difference.

    For August buy, use and eat only products that support a good life and a humane death for the animals that we use. Free range eggs, poultry, pork and beef, venison….

    Eat or buy only those animals (and their products) that get to live a good life and have a clean death.

    All through August, ask for these at your supermarkets, farms, shops, restaurants. If they don't have it, eat something else or go somewhere else instead. Politely let them know you are doing this. There is no need to argue or create unpleasantness but let them know you are choosing. Encourage them to choose new products and support them when they do.

    Let your friends, families, colleagues and community know that you're doing this and encourage them to do the same.

    For August, remind yourself and others that every time we buy or use animal products that involve cruelty we are actively supporting the continuation of that industry.

    Every time we choose not to do that and instead to choose products that support animal welfare we are actively supporting the continuation and growth of a better industry.

    In August we get to choose.

    In August every one of us gets to make a difference

    Make the choice that makes the difference!
