Looking to kick start a “do more to help the animals” resolution this year? Now’s your chance!
By now most of us have heard of the horrors of wild goat racing- wild goats, totally unused to human contact, are captured, auctioned, teased and tormented, dragged across a raceway and harnessed to a cart. Children as young as 4 years old are encouraged to be 'jockeys'. The goats and children are released, and chaos occurs. Goats react to the foreign situation with a fear based response. Children are thrown off carts; frightened goats collapse onto the ground or run into the crowd. Goats crash head first into fences, some goats bleeding, some goats knocking themselves unconscious.
Now we need your help to have this cruel event banned across NSW. Download our petition here:
Petition
and get as many signatures as you can. There are lots of great ways to get signatures:
· Ask your family and friends
· Leave a petition on the coffee table at work
· Get a group of friends together and hit the streets
· Take the petitions with you to animal-friendly events
Our goal is to collect 10,000 signatures as this will ensure the issue is set down as an order of the day for discussion by the House.
Once you have as many signatures as you think you can collect please send your petition sheets to:
