🚨 🐷 JBS currently has a NSW State Significant planning proposal on public exhibition for an obscene, large scale piggery expansion. The expansion involves the JBS Rivalea industrial piggery at Corowa NSW, and includes four other separate land parcels.

Submissions close at 11:59pm, Wednesday 21 October 2026. We need your help to object to JBS's plans. Learn more and take direct action to help stop this planning proposal here: 👉 https://www.al.org.au/object-jbs-piggery-expansion

JBS has a notorious history and is the largest processor of other-than-human animals in the world. They have continued to spread across Australia and are now attempting to further expand. 🐖💔

Please don't delay, speak up for Australian pigs, the environment and people before 11:59pm, Wednesday 21 October 2026.

Animal Liberation will continue to investigate what has occurred with the treatment, welfare and wellbeing of the Mountain Pride Eggs hens.

THANK YOU. ❤️

To everyone who stood beside us on Friday night to rally against the last ever Million Dollar Disgrace at Wentworth Park.

To every greyhound exploited, maimed and killed in this disgraceful industry, we will never stop fighting for you, and we will not rest until this gambling-fuelled, dog killing industry is shut down once and for all.

To our speakers, and all of the incredible humans who made their voices heard loud and clear on Friday night, thank you.

Together, we will end this industry.

On Tuesday of this week Animal Liberation published distressing footage from the Mountain Pride egg farm located on the NSW Central Coast. The footage is recent and it’s credible. This egg farm business boasts: “possibly the world's best eggs", “high-welfare”, “free-range”, “pastured eggs” with the added assurance of coming from a “certified carbon neutral farm”.

Thank you to Abigail Boyd, Greens NSW MLC for raising the multiple serious issues about Mountain Pride Eggs with the NSW Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty, in the NSW Legislative Council.

On Thursday of this week, the NSW Minister for Agriculture, Tara Moriarty introduced the long-awaited and promised NSW Labor Independent Office of Animal Welfare (IOAW) Bill. Like the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment (Enforcement and Operational Powers) Bill 2026, the IOAW Bill is disappointing. Clearly the Bill’s inclusion: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚’𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨" negates any semblance of “INDEPENDENT”.

Watch this space … more to come from Animal Liberation.

A powerful reminder of what’s at stake and why our collective advocacy to demand an end to commercial greyhound racing must continue and must increase.

For all those in Sydney, please show up for the greys by attending the last ever Million Dollar Chase rally at Wentworth Park. RSVP in the link below.

“The greyhound racing industry is still built on a system where the ‘wastage’ of these gentle dogs is the foundation. Greyhound racing remains a gambling-fuelled, dog killing industry, propped up and justified by the government, with taxpayer money and the gambling industry for an insignificant minority.”

- Lisa Ryan, Director, Campaign Strategy and Planning, Animal Liberation

Greyhounds literally run for their lives. But they deserve a much b...

Animal Liberation is proud to add our signature to this open letter with like-minded organisations.

Ten years on, it's time to end greyhound racing in NSW.

We call on the NSW Parliament to:
● Commit to a planned phase-out of greyhound racing in New South Wales; and
● End further public funding of the greyhound racing industry.

Here's an example of NSW's "tough" animal welfare and protection laws for other-than-human animals. These hens have been exploited for eggs. Many are dead with survivors desperately clinging to life. The footage shows no feed, no water, no relief, no one watching or intervening. The environment is reflective of a graveyard completely littered with skeletal remains and feathers, where every human footstep echoes the sound of broken bodies underfoot.

Behind every layer of the egg farming production chain lays suffering and cruelty whether its caged hens or free-range. The hens, male chicks deemed ‘wastage’, the environment and consumers all pay the price. While the Minns/Moriarty Labor Government continues to prop-up intensive animal agriculture, millions of individual sentient beings continue to suffer cruelty, exploitation, abuse, neglect and death. While the Minns/Moriarty Labor Government continues to support an "Agriculture" portfolio entrenched with serious conflicts of interest between agriculture and animal welfare, millions of animals continue to suffer and the NSW Food Authority fails consumers.

It is these very environments, hidden from public view, that harbour abject animal misery, disease and zoonotic disease. Where's the animal "welfare" and where's the "regulation"? It’s these environments that produce the boxed and cling-wrapped products designed to mislead consumers.

These hens deserve justice. Those responsible including the “regulators” need to be held to account. Demand urgent amendments to the NSW Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment (Enforcement and Operational Powers) Bill 2026. Take action here: https://www.al.org.au/poctaa-bill-amendments

Ten years ago, we saw dirty politics in play at the expense of greyhounds exploited for gambling profits when the NSW greyhound ban was reversed.

Then NSW Liberal Premier Mike Baird backflipped on the promise to ban greyhound racing in NSW. Pressure from within Baird’s NSW Liberal/National Party Coalition, a rogue Labor opposition and the minority that makes up the NSW greyhound industry all played a role.

We went from utter joy to despair in a matter of months.

In 2015, the ABC’s Four Corners exposed horrific footage of live baiting, with live piglets, possums and rabbits used to train greyhounds. The revelations sparked a Special Commission of Inquiry led by former High Court judge Michael McHugh. The McHugh Report, released in June 2016, exposed widespread live baiting, the mass killing of greyhounds deemed uncompetitive, serious injuries and systemic failures in the industry's oversight. It concluded that the industry had lost the community’s trust and recommended that greyhound racing cease.

On 7 July 2016, then Premier Mike Baird announced a statewide ban. Just three months later, on 11 October, he reversed that decision.

Ten years on, greyhounds are still paying the price for that backflip. No reform regulation or regulator will ever clean up the entrenched and systemic issues that are synonymous with commercial greyhound racing – a gambling-fuelled dog killing industry that still views and treats greyhound as expendable commodities, where “wastage” is still a core component of the industry’s business model.

Now, we’re asking you to join us to demand an end to commercial greyhound racing at two separate and very important events in Sydney.

On Wednesday morning, we will be rallying outside the NSW Parliament making our voices loud and clear to demand an end to the NSW commercial greyhound racing industry.

Then, on Friday afternoon, join us outside the last ever Million Dollar Disgrace race at Wentworth Park. We'll be there to remind this industry that while racing at Wentworth Park will end, we remain steadfast and committed in our fight to shut this industry down once and for all.

We won't be silent, and we won't rest. Every greyhound exploited, injured, maimed, discarded and killed in this disgraceful industry is relying on us to end this cruelty.

Please stand with us. Please turn up for the greys. You can read more about the events and RSVP in the links below:
