Australian Animals Desperately Need Your Help

Hi guys,

Can you help our friends in PETA Australia to put a stop to this animal abuse. They've done all the hard work in going undercover and recording this abuse as evidence. Now they just need the help of their Malaysian friends to please write letters that will help them to stop this abuse. Trust me your letters go a long long way. Just through hundreds of letters they were able to release some exotic animals held in deplorable conditions in the North of Vietnam, late last year.

Your letters do make a difference.

Please read on and write to the addresses PETA has given below.

NOTICE FROM PETA

This weekend, as a result of an investigation conducted by PETA and Animals Australia, Australia’s most popular news show “60 Minutes” aired a shocking expose of Australia’s live export industry and the fate of cows and sheep who are shipped to Egypt for slaughter. The investigation report confirm animal advocates’ claims that the government and industry have been paying lip service to the idea of animal welfare and have allowed animals to suffer in countries with no animal welfare standards whatsoever. In response to the investigation, the Australian government has suspended live animal exports to Egypt.

We found appalling abuses – workers stabbing animals in the eyes, slashing their tendons, and cutting off their tails – without any painkillers – before their throats are slit while they are fully conscious. The Australian government and the live export industry have previously claimed that this slaughterhouse is a model and have held it up as a success story. Watch the footage that aired on 60 minutes and see the “success” for yourself (http://ninemsn.video.msn.com/v/en-au/v.htm?f=39&g=f3a5c252-e0a8-470b-b56e-8a0bede84638&p=aunews_au60minutes&t=s29).

Please write to the Australian government right away and demand that they permanently ban the live export trade and let them know that all Australian animals must be slaughtered in Australia, under the protection of Australian laws. Please forward this email to family, friends, and co-workers and urge them to write, as well:
