*Bribery Allegations Unravel Wool Industry*
An exposé of an Australian wool industry representative allegedly offering a
bribe to a Swedish activist to encourage her not to speak out about the cruelty
in Australia's sheep industry has gone to air in Sweden, Finland, Norway and
Denmark, and is soon to be aired in Germany. Retail heavyweights throughout
Europe have responded to the ensuing consumer outrage at the cruelty of
mulesing, 'ultra-fine wool', and live exports by instigating boycotts ... a
reminder that it is the power of informed consumer choice that will free animals
from cruel treatment.

the space of 100 bus shelter ads around Sydney to highlight the conditions
suffered by factory farmed pigs in Australia. Find out why Luke Fox wants to
