Animal welfare issues in destination countries

On arrival, animals are subject to various welfare risks. In overseas destinations with different climates, animals must adjust to new and sometimes extreme temperatures, especially in the case of sheep transported from Australia to the Middle East. They generally endure long waiting periods before disembarking ships and being loaded onto trucks, where rough handling can cause distress and injury. During truck journeys to feedlots and/or slaughterhouses, they are usually denied access to food or water which can lead to dehydration and exhaustion. Once at the slaughterhouse, they may be subject to a range of different slaughter methods, including unskilled and sometimes illegal methods which cause pain and suffering.

Xmas Sponsor Cards (see Xmas Gifts page)

Thanks to all the kids who made up the Xmas Sponsor Cards for us.
Each card has a photo of one of the animals in our Shelter at present who either can't be rehomed
or is being nursed (with their name on card). The money for each card goes for treats for that animal over Xmas.
You can buy these at some local shops on Central Coast & in the Hunter or from a Volunteer or on this site.
Also you can buy Xmas Raffle tickets here on the site.
