A CANDLELIT VIGIL AGAINST LIVE EXPORT

Western Australia is the greatest exporter of models in the whole of the southern hemisphere.

Most of these models, many as young as 11, are shipped out of our capital, Perth, or its port, Fremantle. Our State is focused merely on the wealth these live exports bring to its coffers. Very little concern is paid to the inhumane conditions under which these models are exported.

The politicians who trounce about in our ivory towers have no inkling of the fact that many of these models are being forced into overcrowded conditions, packed into very small holding pens, often drugged, arms and legs akimbo, forced to shit and piss where they stand. Many reach their country of destination only to be placed into a holding pattern because of quarantine restrictions, owing to the diseases which are rife amongst their breeding stock. The death rate is alarmingly high.

A candlelight vigil to help stop the live export of models from Western Australia will be held at Fremantle Port on Saturday, August 23. Please, bring your friends and family, a rug and some candles and make your feelings felt.

Help us stamp out this inhumane trade.
