24.01.2022 Thelma welcomes Annelise to Liberation Sanctuary on the first day of Spring 2020. Animal Liberation Victoria (ALV) started giving sanctuary to rescued animals back in 1986. During these 34 years, thousands of animals have been lovingly cared for, including pigs, hens, roosters, broiler birds, geese, ducks, goats, sheep, lambs, cows, possums, deer, ducks, mice, turkeys, alpacas, PBFD cockatoos, peacocks, dogs and cats... Just to name a few! ALV gives heartfelt thanks to all ou...r supporters who over the years made sure these animals had a life worth living. This year has been challenging for lots of us but with your help and support we will continue helping animals as much as we can. Photo: Patty Mark / Liberation Sanctuary

24.01.2022 Issac was one of a kind, but also one of 70 BILLION broiler babies who humans kill and eat every year. We engineer these birds who the Poultry Industry calls 'broilers' to gain weight so quickly that when five weeks old they are adult size! They still have blue eyes and chirp for their mothers. Issac was one of the 70 BILLION born in 2016. But the Poultry Industry or supermarket didn't get him, we did. Just in time! November 2016, ALV organised a vigil at a poultry slaughterh...ouse. Issac, along with several other sickly five week old babies were pulled from the crates on the transport trucks, others laid dead inside. It's hard to get 'broiler chickens' to live a year, they are programmed for quick weight gain and their hearts and bones often give out. But Issac had a zest for life and would have turned four in two more months. When he was two years old he developed a bumble foot, common in heavier birds. It's usually treatable in a couple months, but Issac had a nasty strain and was on antibiotics for the last 21 months of his life. We had to debride his sore foot and bandage it 2-3 times every week, that's well over 200 times! Dear Issac soldiered on. Such was his eager anticipation of a treat afterwards. And such was our love for Issac. It was illegal for the vets to prescribe the antibiotic he needed. Why? Antibiotic Resistance. As Issac is branded a 'meat bird'. Even though the vets knew we were vegan and would never eat our friend they would have lost their licence if they gave us the medicine he really needed. Pandemics will be child's play once antibiotic resistance really sets in. Our health, our planet and our humanity do not need to kill billions of baby birds every year. With love and respect to Issac and every other single chicken.

12.01.2022 Safe havens for endangered wildlife or profit-motivated prisons for exploited animals? What is life really like for animals in zoos? www.alv.org.au/zoos In 2017, Bong Su, a male elephant, was euthanized after 40 years of confinement at Melbourne Zoo. This haunting portrait is all that remains of the once magnificent and gentle being, who was stolen from the wild as a calf and lived his life in a prison. In the words of former senior Melbourne Zoo curator Peter Stroud, Bong S...u is dead. Not because he reached old age, but because he was broken by cramped and impoverished zoo conditions and a terrible inability, through much of his life, to meet his true needs.
