An advocacy group in Perth, Western Australia, Free the Hounds will talk to people who foster or who have an adopted greyhound. Vets working with this special breed and things you may like to watch out for. Rescue groups and volunteers from around the country will let us know what is happening within their state. Ministers and former racing participants to hopefully open up dialogue and share the public’s views on dog racing in our state.
In this episode of Talking Couch Potatoes, we welcome special guest Kristy Alger, from Animal Liberation Tasmania (ALT). We discuss the group’s efforts in investigating and exposing the harsh realities of greyhound racing and other animal welfare concerns in Tasmania.
Kristy shares her personal journey into activism, highlighting key campaigns like the Defund Tas Racing initiative and the ‘Bad Apples’ report, an investigation by ALT into the greyhound racing industry in lutruwita/Tasmania.
The damning evidence uncovered by this report made nationwide news and continues to draw political and media attention.
Join us as we delve into the strategies, challenges, and future plans of Animal Liberation Tasmania, including collaboration with political figures, upcoming projects, and the ongoing fight to protect animals from inhumane practices.
