Animal Rights In Australia

Australian animal right laws are primarily monitored by the RSPCA working in correlation with Australian legislation, however this level of upkeep largely differs between countries due to the diversity of governance systems. (Do I need to add more here for my opening sentence?) In Australia, the Federal Parliament, Council, and state and territory parliament set the animal right laws. The regulations specific to each location are established by the local council to adhere to the specifications

We chose this topic because we were interested in the animals of Australia and how they affected the Australian environment. First of all, we chose our topic which was animals in Australia and how they impacted the environment. We typed out the proposal and after we got our proposal approved, we decided to start working on the actual game board. We took purple paper and traced Australia onto the paper from the help from Ms. Gale’s projector and cut it out. After we cut it out, we glued the paper

Are They All From Down Under? When you think of animals in Australia, you think of koala bears and kangaroos, but you do not think about the species that have migrated there. Most animals in Australia are originally from there and do not live anywhere else in the world. Wombats, can toads, and kangaroos are three great examples, native or not, of how these fascinating animals who live down under survive. Wombats are native animals of Australia and over the years they have had to adapt in many ways

of population in the Australian continent, right from the time when gold was discovered in Australia. Mineral and fuels top the list of Australian exports. Australia has often been called resource-rich because of its huge natural deposits of many very useful and valuable fossil fuels, metals and minerals. Although the agricultural industry has witnessed a fall from its position during the 1970’s, it still contributes towards Australian economy. Australia was one of the largest exporters of beef and

Q1/ Why has the vegetarian diet become popular in Australia? The number of people who are vegetarians in Australia has raised from 1.7 million people to 2.1 million people from 2012 to 2016 (Roy Morgan Research,2016). The question will investigate the causes of why Australians have shifted to a vegetarian diet and why vegetarian diet is becoming popular in Australia. The answer of this question can be obtained from the health, environmental and ethical reasons that affect the reasons behind why

several exposés by animal rights activists published revealing the maltreatment of Australian exported cattle, goats and sheep. This is the harsh reality that Australian animals face practically daily. Australia exports approximately over 1million cattle and 2million sheep live every year, although the number fluctuates due to environmental conditions, international disputes and currency change this is the main statistic. Not too recently World Animal Protection and Animals Australia released shocking

providing controversy surrounding the beef exporting industry in regards to the export of live animals. Animal activist groups and other like-minded people have protested against as to what they perceive to be cruel treatment in which the animals face from the minute they leave the farm to the moment they arrive at the foreign abattoir. Groups such as Animal Australia, exposing such cases where animals are being treated inhumanly from the ship to the abattoir. (Reference) Conversely there are other

advancements for humans (Humane Research Australia, 2016). This inhumane treatment of animals makes one wonder about the ethicality of these animal research experimentations. Animal testing is a global ethical issue because it negates the dignity of animals. Scientists and medical professionals support animal testing as a means to enhance and prolong human life, whereas PETA and RSPCA oppose animal testing because it does

common good for the animal. They are killing an innocent animal for their parts, which is not good. People don’t realise this because yes it’s an animal but it’s not a pet. Ok put your hand up if this was a household pet would you fight a little more to stop whaling from happening. I think this is the problem people would have more of a problem if it was a dog or a cat because they are a part of family homes and they have the emotion behind it, but whales also have the same right to be free and to

Should greyhound racing in Australia be banned? This issue has been noticed by the public towards the early months of 2015, which there has been an issue reported to the RSPCA for enquiries and in the media by some of the house members of parliaments such as the Greens, NSW premier, and other organisation. Which many have reported for the Australia greyhound racing association (AGRA) to be banned, as there have been problems with the way the AGRA regulates the welfare and the living conditions of
