🦆 Please don’t feed ducks bread!

It might seem like a harmless way to feed our feathered friends, but bread isn’t good for ducks. It fills them up without providing the nutrients they need and can contribute to health problems.

If you want to give ducks a treat, there are plenty of healthier options they can enjoy:

🥬 Lettuce and leafy greens
🌽 Corn
🫛 Peas
🥒 Cucumber
🥕 Grated carrot
🌾 Oats and grains
🍎 Small pieces of fruit

And remember, feeding wildlife isn’t always necessary.

Ducks are usually capable of finding their own natural food, so if you do feed them, keep portions small and choose healthy options.

Let’s keep our duck friends happy and healthy.

Two cruel experiments banned. Countless animals spared.
This is what animal protection looks like when we have a voice in Parliament.

Innocent animals were being drowned and forced to inhale cigarette smoke in cruel laboratory experiments.

So we changed the law.

In forced swim tests, animals are dropped into containers of water and forced to swim to survive. In forced smoking experiments, cigarette smoke is pumped into their tiny noses.

These experiments are cruel, outdated and completely unnecessary.

We introduced legislation to outlaw both practices, and NSW became the first place in the world to ban forced swim tests and forced smoking experiments on animals.

This is what happens when animal protection makes it into Parliament; we can turn outrage into actual law, and we do it everyday with your help.

What cruel animal experiment do you want to see outlawed next?

Happy International Dog Day! 🐾❤️

To celebrate, meet the dogs behind the Animal Justice Party NSW team and find out what they would do if these pups were elected as AJP MPs!

Our staff members spend their days standing up for animals, and these four-legged companions are a big part of the reason why.

Charlie, Shiva, Burrito, and Lance each have their own unique rescue and adoption stories of how they came to join the lives of our AJP staff.

They’re couch companions, walking buddies, office supervisors and constant reminders of why the work we do matters to all animals.

Swipe through to meet them and find out what they would do if they were Animal Justice Party MPs. 🐶❤️

A huge win at the City of Parramatta Council meeting last night, with Councillors unanimously supporting a motion to ban fur.

The motion was proposed by Deputy Lord Mayor Charles Chen and seconded by Councillor Judy Greenwood, with both speaking in support of going fur free.

Our local Animal Justice Party member Janet also spoke in support during the Public Forum, helping make the case for why this issue matters. A huge thank you to Janet for her dedication and hard work on this campaign.

The motion was passed unanimously by all 13 Councillors present.

This win was achieved through the compassion and advocacy of many including: City of Parramatta councillors from across the political spectrum, FOUR PAWS, local Animal Justice Party volunteers like Janet and other community members who spoke up for animals used in the cruel fur industry.

We’ve seen time and time again that local action can make a huge difference for animals.

Together, we can create change in our communities and build a kinder future for all.
