Animal Justice Party South Australia

We stand with Emma Hurst, Animal Justice Party NSW, and other animal advocates in opposing the aerial culling of Kosciuszko brumbies and advocating for humane alternatives.

Protecting Kosciuszko's unique environment is exceptionally important, but so is animal welfare, and we can recognise both truths at the same time.

Elected representatives have a responsibility to seek solutions that consider both environmental protection and humane alternatives, that are more in line with community expectation

The deadline for the final report on the greyhound racing industry is 7 July. We need the South Australian Government to know that voters expect real action.

If you want to see change for greyhounds, please contact the Racing Minister and other key decision-makers before the report is delivered and tell them you support a ban on greyhound racing.

Many of you have already signed the petition — thank you. 💜 Now we're asking you to take the next step and join us, alongside other animal protection organisations, in advocating for the phase-out of greyhound racing.

Emails, phone calls, letters and social media posts tagging decision-makers all help show that South Australians want a better future for greyhounds.

⬇️ Information on how to get involved, including contact details for key decision-makers, is linked in the comments. Please take action by July 7.

Greyhound Welfare Initiative

Animal Justice Party is continuously striving to improve the lives of animals, and to achieve that, we rely on the generosity of our supporters. The financial year ends at the end of this month, so now is a great time to donate to Animal Justice Party.

This year, we contested the state election thanks to supporters like you. Your donations will continue to make a difference through supporting our campaigns to influence positive changes for animals and building up the Party until the next election.

We lack large corporate donors or public funding, and running a political party costs a tidy sum. We have bills to pay for the storage unit, website, bookkeeping, auditing and many other expenses. That’s before we can allocate money to marketing and election costs. Can you chip in to help?

No matter the size, every donation helps. Donations of up to $1,500 per year may be tax deductible. Donation link in the comments.

Yet another Animal Justice Party member has been elected to public office. Congratulations Tam on your election to Southern Grampians Shire Council! South Australians, our local council elections are coming up soon too.

We're pleased to acknowledge that Tamasyn Ramsay-Grounds has been appointed to Southern Grampians Shire Council following a recent countback after a vacancy.

Tam has been a strong advocate for animals and the environment in her community. As a member and volunteer of the Animal Justice Party, she has supported animal protection in various advisory and advocacy roles.

We wish Tamasyn all the best in her new role, serving as an independent councillor, and look forward to animals in Gariwerd having a voice represented in local decision-making 💜🐾

Last week, some Animal Justice Party members were proud to stand in solidarity with the community at Stop the Chop: Never Again, organised by Adelaide Park Lands Association, to speak up for Adelaide’s wildlife and Park Lands. 💚🐾

Following the loss of a reported 585 trees at Possum Park / Pirltawardli through the North Adelaide Golf Course redevelopment, countless animals have lost habitat, shelter and safety. While many are still grieving that destruction, the focus for action has now turned to protecting Victoria Park and the Eastern Park Lands.

We felt honoured to stand with everyone who came along, brought signs, raised their voices and stood up for animals, nature, as well as the Kaurna people, for whom these lands hold special cultural significance.

A physical petition is now underway, with organisers aiming to collect 10,000 signatures to deliver to Parliament (see comments for details) by July 31. We were thrilled to be able to sign it in person. Thank you to Lead Petitions Crs Maher and Snape.

This rally took place on Kaurna Land, on Friday, May 22.

For links to the paper petition and upcoming events, see the comments below.

Join us for the next Adelaide Regional Meeting as we hear updates from the team, discuss upcoming events and campaigns, and share ideas on how we keep building momentum for animals, people and the planet.

This month we’ll be joined by guest speaker Dr Rebekah Eyers, Animal Advocate for RSPCA South Australia, speaking about the push to phase out greyhound racing in SA following ongoing welfare concerns and injuries.

Important agenda items include:
• Evaluating our first ever Walk for the Animals - what worked, what could improve, and whether we do it again
• Campaign updates on ending duck shooting in SA and the next steps in the parliamentary inquiry campaign

RSVP required - link in comments. 💜🐾🌏

What an incredible day at Walk for the Animals! 🐾💜

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to Pinky Flat last Sunday and helped make the event such a success. It was wonderful to see so many people and their furry friends come together for a fun, compassionate community event.

From the parade of dogs led by special rescue cat Landon in his pram, to the plant-based BBQ, homemade cakes, raffle prizes and stalls, the atmosphere throughout the day was amazing.

Thanks to your support, the event raised more than $3,000, with the $1,200 from ticket sales being split between AJP, Cat Adoption Foundation and Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds. 💜

Thank you as well to our amazing volunteers,, stallholders and everyone who helped make the day possible. We’re so grateful to everyone who attended, donated and supported the event! 🐶🐱🌱

This event took place on Kaurna Land, on Sunday, May 17.
