Tell the WA government that animals matter.

The West Australian government has suggested it's not in the ‘public interest’ to proceed with a criminal prosecution against a live export company over the suffering and deaths of thousands of sheep at sea. This landmark animal cruelty case was set to begin within days. Please tell your state MP that the wellbeing of animals is of great interest to the public and that the community expects animal protection laws to be upheld.

2,400 sheep perished on board the Awassi Express in 2017 – their suffering and deaths forming the basis of a landmark criminal prosecution against live export company, Emanuel Exports.

The exporter was facing 16 charges of animal cruelty under the WA Animal Welfare Act.

Set to begin on 20 November, it’s been revealed that the prosecution will not be proceeding, upon instruction by the WA Department of Primary Industries.

So far, the reasons given relate to ‘taxpayer’ and ‘public’ interest.

WA politicians need to understand how deeply the community cares about the welfare of animals and that there is a public expectation that they will be protected from cruelty. Please use this form to reinforce this message with your State MP today.

SPEAK UP NOW

Footage captured by a brave crewman on the Awassi Express in 2017 showed sheep suffering and dying from heat stoke – literally cooking from the inside out. Evidence documented across five voyages led to a ban on shipping sheep into the northern summer and underpinned a decision by the Albanese government to phase out the live sheep export trade.

Speak up now.

Every time we speak up for animals, a shift occurs in political consciousness that will benefit all animals in the future.

Please write a message to your WA State Labor MP. Remind them just how much the WA community cares about the treatment of animals and that their welfare is a matter of great public interest.
