FUNDRAISERS FOR 2019
ONLINE AUCTION FOR ANIMALS AUSTRALIA
We hosted an online auction to support Animals Australia.
Our online auction started on the 30th of May which was the 8th anniversary of the ABC 4 Corners screening of "A Bloody Business".
The footage garnered by Lyn White AM (Member of the Order of Australia) who is Investigations Director and Director of Strategy for Animals Australia, brought the treatment of animals within an overseas slaughterhouse into stark focus and shocked most of us (here and overseas).
It also compelled a lot of us to question our ethics and research the treatment of "food" animals in our own country.
The truth of what was happening to animals in our own "back yard" was just as ugly and cruel as what was happening in Indonesia. This awakening propelled many, many people to become #Vegan. They no longer wanted to support this cruelty.
Our online auction was our way of saying thank you to Animals Australia for all the work they do every day to investigate and expose cruelty, educate and inspire the public, strengthen the animal protection movement and advocate for change. <3

ONLINE AUCTION FOR GREENER PASTURES SANCTUARY
Earlier in 2018 we had decided to pledge to do fundraisers for the 3 Western Australian "farm" animal sanctuaries from 2019 and into the future - for as long as we could!
We feel the 3 sanctuaries - Greener Pastures Sanctuary, Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary and Possum Valley Animal Sanctuary are extremely worthy of our support not only because they work 24/7 to save and look after hundreds of animals, they are giving us all joy and hope. Hope for a better future for those animals who the majority of people see as "food".
So, our first auction for 2019 was for Greener Pastures Sanctuary titled "Happy New Year!" and we want to thank all those who supported the auction with donations and generous bids.
