I think this is a fabulous idea.  They say we have a few weeks so maybe we could take a photo at your event Erica?  I'll double check to find out the last date we can send a photo.  What do you think???

Dear Joan Casey, As you may know, Animals Australia recently captured some shocking footage , exposing the horrific ways Australian Cattle are being slaughtered in Indonesia. Please be warned, the video contains graphic material of cattle being senselessly tortured and forced to endure completely unnecessary pain and fear. Public outcry from this footage has been unprecedented and thousands of WSPA Canada supporters have already written to Australia's Minister of Agriculture , requesting an end to the cruel live animal export trade. People from around the world have inundated WSPA with emails and calls, asking what else they can do to help. In response, WSPA has created an effective way you can help spread the word and stop live animal export! Simply upload a photo like this one, with your arms outstretched to join hands with other WSPA supporters around the world who are opposed to this cruel practice. All the photos will be linked together to form a huge chain, they'll then be counted, and the most iconic photos will be made into a visual petition. This petition will be presented to the Australian Government in just a few weeks, so please help millions of animals by taking this urgent action today. Forward this email to your friends and family and encourage them to participate too. With your help, the Global Humane Chain will help demonstrate that the world is watching, and calling on the Australian Government to end live animal export for good. Why is live animal export so cruel? Australia exports millions of sheep and hundreds of thousands of cattle overseas each year. During the cramped and difficult journey, tens of thousands of animals die, with almost half of all deaths being caused by starvation. For most that survive, they are then subjected to inhumane slaughter practices in countries that don't have adequate animal welfare laws. Together we can help save millions of animals from the unnecessary suffering of live animal export. Thank you so much for your continued support, Sincerely, Silia Smith Regional Director North America   This message was sent by: World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) 90 Eglinton Avenue East, Suite 960 Toronto, Ontario, M4P 2Y3, Canada Update Profile | Unsubscribe
