Billions of animals need our voice. For a start, every year about 500 million cows, pigs, chickens, sheep and other farm animals call Australia home. Aussies also share their homes (and beds) with 29 million companion animals – mostly dogs and cats. We don't know how many kangaroos are out bush and can’t possibly count the other billions of animals living in the wild on land and in our aquatic and marine environments.

Voiceless's work focuses primarily on farm animals in factory farming industries as we believe this to be an issue of the highest priority in animal protection in Australia.

Voiceless is also concerned about many other animal protection issues and supports projects to address these issues via our Grants Program.

The issues of high priority include:

• live export;
• kangaroo 'culling' and other hunting and poisoning activities;
• animal experimentation;
• animals in entertainment - zoos, circuses, racing and rodeos;
• animals killed for fashion - fur and skins.
