RECIPIENTS OF THE 2004 VOICELESS GRANTS PROGRAM Against Animal Cruelty Tasmania (AACT) - Live Export Lobbying Campaign
This grant has been given to help AACT with
their short-term goal of achieving a Tasmanian ban on live exports.
They believe that the existence of a state ban would be an excellent
first step towards a nationwide ban on this inhumane practice. This not
for profit organisation was founded in 2003 in Hobart and strives to
facilitate change through non-violent action, education and lobbying on
a wide variety of issues. Carmel Loane - teacher at Holland Park State Primary School, Brisbane
