Overpopulation and industrial farming - city dweller tells of battery chicken factory night raid
Senate candidates from the Animal Justice Party (AJP) will take their ‘less hooves equals more food’ initiative to Canberra this week, to promote a sustainable approach to global food security issues.

Government ignores the rights of consumers to shun factory farming horrors
Pigs are intelligent animals that have strong bonds with each other. They endure miserable lives to make pork and bacon products cheaper.
