Before this gets much further, I feel compelled to show my stance on the issue of animal welfare.

I have put my weight and support into fighting Animal Welfare atrocities happening on our own shores. One of which has only mustered half as many signatures after many many months of campaigning as the BanLiveExports campaign mustered in a little over 24 hours.

Puppy Factories are some of the most blatant abuses of animal rights executed on Australian shores. Bitches are bred back to back for their entire lives, welping litter after litter of puppies to be sold online and through major pet shops throughout Australia.

They are bred until they cannot breed anymore - sometimes that is when their uterus prolapses outside of their body - and then they are destroyed.

Animals that are saved from Puppy Factories are sometimes found to be suffering from horrible and large reproductive tumours.

Their lives are spent mass producing christmas gifts, which lets not kid ourselves, a large proportion of which are later abandoned at animal shelters.

They live in small, wet, dirty cages with feces covered newspaper, or on cold wet concrete floors eating maggot infested food.

Eye conditions are common.

Animal Liberation Victoria filmed this footage in 2010 in Victoria.

Here is some footage from NSW. And the RSPCA rescuing those same animals.

And yes, Puppy farms HAVE had media coverage.

On ABCs 7:30 Report and TEN's 7PM Project.

Perhaps we can spare some outrage for these poor dogs.

Don't burn it all up yet though. (Extreme content warning.)

There is still an animal welfare atrocity that happens on our shores, sanctioned by several Australian Governments, in plain sight of hundreds and thousands of spectators both in person and on television.

Bear witness to the final horrific and agonising moments of Sirrocean Storm and Crying Storm. Whose deaths were ultimately decided to be acceptable by the Victorian Government and Racing Victoria.

Who died so people could make money and be entertained.

Who died in Australia suffering horribly so people could make money and provide nothing.

Yes, Jumps racing has had a great deal of coverage on TV. TVN and SkyRacing are big racing stations. However in the media, you again can look at TEN's 7PM Project.

So yes. Rage and demand better conditions for Australian Cattle in Indonesian abattoirs, demand Meat and Livestock Australia fixes its mess and delivers on its promise to improve Indonesian abattoirs.

But spare some rage for the animals on our shores suffering at our hands. They need your help too.
