2009 Grants Recipients
Taking advantage of an increased awareness by Australian consumers and widely anticipated legislation in other countries to ban caged egg production, Animal Liberation has developed two creative and engaging TV commercials. Targeting a captive daily audience on networks Seven, Nine, and Ten, the TV commercials will be shown on morning news shows and capitalise on the growing public awareness against the purchase of caged eggs. Using pro-bono talent and professional production, the TV spots will provide a keen counterpoint to the egg industry’s current round of advertising.
In 2010, the Australian Law Student’s Association (ALSA) will hold its National Conference in Adelaide. Attracting a large number of law students nationwide and from overseas, the conference will include a free public lecture as part of its Australian Legal Education Forums, aimed at promoting animal protection through law reform. 
In a competition titled Too Cruel for School the Holroyd City Council will partner with local primary and high school students to develop key animal protection messages designed to generate compassion for animals. Three winning messages will be professionally produced on postcards, posters and stickers for distribution to students and the community. The schools which successfully create the winning messages will be awarded $500 to establish a Too Cruel for School Animal Club.
The Government’s proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS), designed to reduce Australia’s carbon pollution, currently excludes agriculture and livestock emissions from its inventory. While there are many participants involved in the debate, animal welfare concerns are currently mostly absent. A scoping study will identify whether the CPRS may have undesirable consequences for farm animals and, if so, identify what impacts there may be.
