Deforestation is a killer in more ways than one

Animal agribusiness is a killer. Not just of the millions of farmed animals imprisoned by the industry, but of the millions of other wild animals whose homes are destroyed to make way for farmed animal slaughter. 3/4 of Australia’s threatened plant and animal species have habitat loss listed as one of the main reasons they are being driven to extinction. Much of this habitat loss is to make way for animal farms. Deforestation by animal agribusiness has created a crisis for animals, the environment and our climate. But I have a plan. A plan for a future of sustainable, plant-based farming that protects animals and the forests they call home. A plan that would make NSW a leader on climate action. This is just the beginning - watch this space.
