Our mission is to raise the level of awareness with regard to the plight of millions of factory farmed animals in Australia and to make the world a kinder place for all animals.
We hope that by opening our doors to school groups people will see that farm animals deserve the respect that many people reserve only for dogs and cats.

CRUELTY DON´T BUY IT.
This photo was taken inside a Tasmanian factory farm piggery. The Department of Primary Industry Water and Environment (DPIWE) told us this piggery has some of the highest animal welfare standards in Tasmania even though the sows spend almost their entire lives in steel and concrete crates, crates barely bigger than their own bodies.
Sows were seen lying in wet filthy crates suffering from extreme stress, deprevation and boredom. They are unable to even turn around or lie down properly.
The owner of this piggery told us that the sows could walk as far as we could in a day by taking one step forward one step back, one step forward one step back.
The question is would you keep your animal in conditions like this?
Right: A Tasmanian battery hen farm.
Tasmanians were told by DPIWE that this farm had some of the highest animal welfare standards in Australia even though we filmed hunderds of hens dying in cages, hens with broken limbs and emaciated and paralysed hens.
We also filmed hundreds of dead rotting hens in the cages. Live hens were forced to lay eggs on the decomposing bodies. These eggs when bumped were seen rolling into the collection trays to await packaging.

“I expect to pass through this way but once.
Any good therefore that I can do, or
any kindness that I can show to any
fellow creature, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it,
for I shall not pass this way again.”
