ALDI has just walked back its promise to go 100% cage-free by 2025, pushing the deadline all the way to 2030. Dr Jed Goodfellow told 10 News+ why this delay is a betrayal of both Australian consumers and the millions of hens still trapped in cages.
Animals feel joy, fear, and pain – just like us. This International Animal Rights Day, we call on Australian governments to recognise animal sentience in law and build a fairer future for all beings. Support the recognition of animal sentience today: www.fairgoforanimals.org.au

The Alliance has joined 31 MPs, animal protection organisations, and local community groups in calling for an end to greyhound racing at Wentworth Park – and for this public land to be returned to the community. Read the Open Letter: www.allianceforanimals.org.au/ourwork/open...
Currently, the decision-making process requires impact assessments of the costs of proposed regulatory measures, but there is no equivalent requirement for an animal welfare impact assessment. It is for a decision-making process that works for animals, not against them.

Victoria’s animal welfare laws were written in 1986 and fail to reflect that animals are sentient beings who can feel joy, fear, and pain. A modern, evidence-based Animal Care and Protection Bill is ready to go. Urge the Premier to introduce the Bill 👉 www.allianceforanimals.org.au/stronger-law...
April, the Alliance's Better Chicken Campaigner, wrote an article for the Australian Poultry Newspaper, exploring how tiered certification and labelling could improve standards through greater uptake of slower-growing, higher-welfare breeds. Read the article: www.poultrynews.com.au/media/1125/N...
Australia’s horse racing industry is riddled with systemic animal welfare issues – from overbreeding and 'wastage' to the cruel use of whips, poor living conditions, and high injury rates. It's time for a fair go for horses: www.allianceforanimals.org.au/ourwork/race...
The racing industry doesn’t want the public to see the brutal reality of racing horses at high speeds. If the industry is confident its welfare standards are good enough, it shouldn’t need to hide what happens to horses on the track. 🗞 Full article: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

A judge recently ruled that whipping a horse off a racetrack amounted to animal cruelty – so why is it still permitted on one? Horses feel fear, pain, and frustration just like us, yet our outdated laws allow cruel practices. It's time to fix the system: www.fairgoforanimals.org.au
