About SaveBabe.com

SaveBabe.com is a website and a campaign that has been created by Animals Australia to highlight the suffering of factory farmed pigs in Australia. Laws have failed to protect millions of pigs each year from acts of cruelty. This website has been created to inform, educate and empower consumers to help created needed change.

Our grateful thanks go to Rebecca Gibney, Jackie O, Suzie Wilks, Jessica Napier and James Cromwell for their willing support of the SaveBabe.com campaign.

Currently most Australians are unaware of the plight of pigs in factory farms, or that they are unwittingly supporting the suffering endemic to this industry by buying factory farmed pork. Nor are they aware that pigs have been denied the legislative protection from acts of cruelty afforded to other animals for economic reasons. By complying with an industry ‘code of practice’, industry operators gain exemptions from prosecutions and do no have to provide the same standard of care of animals that is expected of every other member of the Australian community.

Once again – laws and political processes have failed to protect these animals from suffering and acts of cruelty. The power to created needed change for millions of pigs in Australia rests with consumer choice. Throughout this website you will find overwhelming evidence as to why, if you care about the welfare of animals, you should not purchase factory farmed pork, ham and bacon products.

Please watch the video – In Defence of Mothers – and then take action. Their future rests with the choices you make next time you shop. Please ‘say no’ to cruelty.

We are also indebted to investigators Diana Simpson, Cherie Wilson and Jonathan Hallett for providing images and video material for the website.

Animals Australia would also like to thank our supporters, plus international friends Compassion in World Farming and photographer Colin Seddon for providing some of the happy images on this site!
