Start: 2025-01-21T11:00:00+11:00

Location: Treasury Place

🐷 In December, 2024, the Victorian Government officially responded to the parliamentary inquiry into pig welfare and to the recommendations it made. Despite expert testimony and hundreds of hours of footage showing the reality of pig farming and slaughter in Victoria, the Allan government chose to avoid making meaningful change.
Instead, they supported the majority of recommendations - including those to ban cruel, outdated, intensive confinement systems such as sow stalls and farrowing crates, and certain kinds of pig gas chambers - ‘in principle,’ essentially saying that they believe current practices are unsuitable but that they won’t be taking action to change them.
👉 Join us to rally at the Premier’s office to send a message that Victorian pigs deserve more than just support ‘in principle.’ They deserve real, meaningful and swift action to end the brutal suffering that they are forced to endure for nothing more than taste, tradition and convenience.
