BRISBANE
CITY COUNCIL CIRCUS CAMPAIGN LAUNCH

Sunday May 24 Animal Liberation
Qld and RSPCA Qld launched our campaign to win over the Brisbane
City Council and achieve the first council circus ban in Qld.
We had the help of two animals often used by circuses and some
wonderfully talented children from flipside circus. Although
the weather not always favourable lots of people signed our
petitions and postcards. It was a positive start to the campaign.
Let's hope we can win some hearts on council.

Voiceless gives groups such as ours through their grants programe.
We will be producing two new brochures in our What's Wrong With
series. What's Wrong With Battery Chickens and What's Wrong
With Intensive Pig Farming. Plus we will be producing three
free standing banners to compliment our brochures.

CIRCUS CAMPAIGN
LAUNCH
November
12 2008 marked the official launch of the Say NO to Animals
in Circuses campaign. Animal Liberation Qld along with RSPCA
Qld held an information and signature gathering day in Raddecliffe
Place, Brisbane. Whilst the day was a bit wet and windy this
did not stop people from talking to us and signing our petitions
and postcards. We also had several media contacts about our
alliance. This was a great start to what will be a long running
and we believe successful campaign.

Animal
Liberation Qld "Die In' Protest
ALQ symbolically showed with people dressed in black and draped
over one another as if dead, the truth behind cheap chicken.
Over
488 million broiler chickens are slaughtered each year in Australia
to provide the chicken for all your burgers and hot roast dinners.
The
people of Brisbane where given brochures and a talk by Andrew
Bartlett on the topic of intensive chicken farming in Australia.
We
had many people come over to show support and to find out more
on this issue.
Please never forgot -
CHEAP CHICKEN COMES AT AN ENORMOUS COST
TO THE WELFARE OF THE ANIMALS.

BAN LIVE EXPORT - NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION - SATURDAY NOVEMBER
10 2007
Right across Australia compassionate people were gathering signatures
against the barbaric live export industry. In Brisbane about
20 people gave up a few hours of their day to show the both
the government and the opposition that the people of Australia
want this cruel trade stopped. This campaign is continuing to
gain momentum and the number of people supporting the call for
this trade to cease is increasing.
As long as we supply sheep or cattle to these countries they
will continue to think we support their appallingly cruel slaughterhouses.
The only way to get our message through is to stop sending our
animals there.

ALQ
protests against exotic animal circuses
Another circus - another protest. Burtons Circus learnt that
performing in Qld can attract a crowd of a different kind. ALQ
members and supporters showed the circus and the public that
not everyone supports the continued use of exotic animals in
circuses.
