With tomorrow’s Melbourne Cup, the important thing to most race goers is the frocks, the champagne and the flutter – but the real cost of stopping a Nation for this day is a shocking litany of suffering, pain and death for race horses.  

Lennon Bros Circus is in Queanbeyan for the school holidays.  The irony is if they set up less than 2km away in the ACT, the owners would be liable to a year in jail and/or a hefty fine.  This is because circuses with exotic animals have been banned in the ACT since 1992.  Full details follow in attachment...

On Tuesday 16 September 2008 at 9am, Queanbeyan court will hear a case, including video evidence against two individuals charged with torturing to death two ferrets owned by their housemate.  The disturbing incident was recorded on a camera phone.
