Indonesia is destroying 2,000,000 hectares of one of the world’s most important & biodiverse rainforests in South Papua for sugarcane. 😡
The world’s BIGGEST deforestation project. 🤬
Everyone should be SO angry about this. It is OUR planet and we are losing wildlife forever!

1,392 days.​
That's over,​
198 weeks,​
45 months,​
3.5 years.​

It is time for Dan to come home to his loving wife,6 beautiful children, his family and friends who miss him dearly. ​

​Dan is an innocent man, with no Australian charges laid against him. Locked in a maximum-security prison, on 13-year-old allegations that just don't stack up.​

We continue to raise for costs associated with Dan's freedom campaign and to help ease the financial burden for this family. If you can help, please donate: ​

@oelma__ Yes

[FreeDanDuggan @FreeDanDuggan]

1,385 days in maximum security.

14-year-old allegations not tested in court, allegations not considered a crime in Australia, an indictment kept secret for 5 years, an extradition request reliant on retrospective charges.

An Aussie citizen, father of 6, honourableveteran, no criminal history.

A family torn apart and financially crippled.

An Australian government with the power to free Dan.

Please support the Duggans in any way you can: https://t.co/qyogQjnOR8

Please don’t release balloons 🎈.

Calves abused in rodeo roping events are only about three to five months old. Let that sink in 💔

These babies are thrown into the ring, slammed hard into the ground, and aggressively bound with ropes—all while their pain and terror is being cheered on by screaming crowds.

[FreeDanDuggan @FreeDanDuggan]

Right now, Dan Duggan could be at home with his family.

But he’s not.

He continues to be locked in maximum security over 14- year-old unproven, political motivated allegations that weren’t even a crime in his home country.

It is incredibly frightening that the Australian government is allowing retrospective charges to applied to one of their citizens.

They could reject the US extradition request at anytime and allow Dan to return to his wife and six children.

After 1,374 days, enough is enough.

Please help where you can: https://t.co/qyogQjnOR8

[Deborah Fleming OAM @Deb_Fleming]

I’m sorry to say it but Albo’s Labor stinks when it comes to animal welfare. He’s happy to parade his pet dog seems to have a complete empathy and imagination bypass when it comes to other sentient creatures?

[Andrew Wilkie MP @WilkieMP]

Animal welfare protections remain patchwork and woefully inadequate in Australia, and it’s way past time to establish a national Independent Office for Animal Welfare. #auspol #politas

[Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds @save_greyhounds]

Industry keeps secret the death toll at The Q $90 m disaster. Racing Queensland doesn’t dispute figure of 32 greyhounds killed. Every state withholds data, information, truth, with most hiding race videos. A corrupt, unregulated industry that knows it's losing its social licence

[Animal Justice Party @animaljusticeAU]

NO MORE RODEOS 🛑

Does animal abuse for entertainment really still have a place in the modern world?

Animals are frequently injured and sometimes killed at rodeos, suffering from injuries such as broken ribs, legs, backs, and necks, as well as ripped tendons, punctured lungs, and severe bruises.

Events like calf roping and bull riding cause significant fear, pain, and physical distress to horses and cattle, raising serious welfare concerns.

[AnimalKIND @animalkind_aus]

Running is natural. It’s their instinct. Their joy. Their choice.

Racing takes their choice away, turning instinct and joy into expectation and pressure.

They deserve to run for their joy, not ours.

Coming back home!

NSW is way past overdue @ChrisMinnsMP BAN IT!

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

Tomorrow Scotland can ban greyhound racing for good, as the Scottish Parliament takes its final vote on @markruskell's bill.

This cruel 'sport' results in the deaths of hundreds of dogs in the UK and leaves tens of thousands injured.

It's time it was finally brought to an end.
