Animal Liberation SA - The Voiceless grant will help to purchase a van for education & outreach purposes.  The van will be used to display & distribute the group’s educational material, addressing all issues relating to wildlife & farm animals, visiting supermarkets, festivals and events.  Animal Liberation’s life-sized sow, Priscilla, will also be transported in the van.
 
People Against Cruelty in Animal Transport, WA – The funds from the Voiceless grant will support a major PR campaign exposing the myths of the live export trade, focusing on the transport of sheep in ships from Fremantle to the Middle East.  A series of print ads exposing the myths will be run in Western Australian newspapers.
 
Animals’ Angels, WA - The Voiceless grant will assist the group in monitoring & documenting live animal transports to Fremantle harbour from where they join the live animal export trade. The campaign aims to contribute to improved animal protection/welfare laws in the short term and eventually use evidence gathered to help bring an end to the live animal export trade.
