Final Round: Animal Protectors Alliance

Ms Frankie Seymour: Co-founder, Animal Protectors Alliance

Ms Seymour notes that if the Bill is passed it will seriously impact our democracy and raises the status of farmers to be above other members of the community.

She notes that the rhetoric surrounding the Bill is to save farmers from the "embarrassment" caused by what is exposed by animal activists collecting evidence of agricultural practices. Ms Seymour goes on to say that the Alliance opposes this bill with regards to democracy, much needed animal protection and the impact of animal agriculture on climate change.
