I have seen facts, figures snd films based on the U.S. but I want to know where more information is available on Australia I.e. recent films taken from our farms, figures on how many animals are killed etc...

Can anyone help me, I am tired of responses from people who say that 'its not that bad in Australia because we have different rules and regs, those films and facts are for America'.

Australian version of the 'Why Vegan' brochure:

I often point out to people that some practices in Australia have actually been banned in many countries overseas.
Some examples are the use battery cages, sow stalls, ritual slaughter methods (halal and kosher slaughter which don't allow stunning prior to the animal's throat being slit), live export, and pretty much the whole world wants Australia to ban the mulesing of sheep.
