Petition: Call for Australia Post to Ban the Shipping of Live Animals
Live animals such as bees are shockingly being sent through Australia Post. These packages are treated like regular mail - subjecting the animals to rough handling, extreme temperatures, and a lack of basic necessities like air, food, and water.
Recently, a package containing a queen bee and her nurse bees was lost for 10 days, including during scorching 30-degree heat. Despite urgent efforts to locate the package, the bees arrived dead—a fate all too common for live animals shipped this way.
By signing the petition below you are calling on the NSW Government to outlaw this cruel treatment of animals and to demand Australia Post urgently introduce policies to ban sending all live animals through the post.
