‘Animal Liberation Now’ (book)

rdearson — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 22:08:36 +0000

Since its original publication in 1975, this groundbreaking work has awakened millions of people to the existence of “speciesism”—our systematic disregard of nonhuman animals—inspiring a worldwide movement to transform our attitudes to animals and eliminate the cruelty we inflict on them.

In Animal Liberation, author Peter Singer exposes the chilling realities of today’s “factory farms” and product-testing procedures—destroying the spurious justifications behind them, and offering alternatives to what has become a profound environmental and social as well as moral issue. An important and persuasive appeal to conscience, fairness, decency, and justice, it is essential reading for the supporter and the skeptic alike.

‘Why we Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows’ (book)

august-admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 07:51:53 +0000

Written by acclaimed social psychologist Melanie Joy, this groundbreaking book offers a fascinating investigation as to how—and why—we ascribe certain ‘roles’ to certain animals in our society. Throughout, Joy asks the question: how can we so wholeheartedly devote ourselves to some animals while allowing others, or actively forcing others, to suffer so cruelly and so needlessly in factory farms or slaughterhouses?

Controversial and unflinching, this book investigates the many negatives associated with factory farms, including cruel treatment of animals, multiple workplace hazards for slaughterhouse workers, and the enormous environmental impact of raising 10 billion animals for food each year.

‘Live kindly’ shopper bag

august-admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2022 07:51:52 +0000

If there’s one easy way to ‘eat, shop, and live kindly’, it’s by reducing our reliance on single-use plastic bags. Have you ever heard of ‘the Great Pacific garbage patch’? It’s a floating collection of plastic debris in the North Pacific Ocean, and it’s estimated to be roughly the size of New South Wales. Or how about the prediction that we could have more plastic rubbish in our oceans than fish by the year 2050?

They’re alarming statistics, but by choosing to reuse—and purchasing our Animals Australia shopper bag—you take an important and impactful step. Both for our oceans and all the precious animals who call them home: from whales and dolphins to seabirds and starfish. This shopper bag comes in black with bright pops of orange and white. The supplier, Green Pac, is a Sedex member, which means they’re part of the world’s leading community for responsible business, sourcing responsibly, and improving ethical standards and working conditions within supply chains.
