Animals Australia formed in 1980, originally as the Australian Federation of Animal Societies, founded by Peter Singer and Christine Townend. Animal protection groups in New Zealand were invited to join in 1986 and the organisation became the Australian and New Zealand Federation of Animal Societies. This formal Australian-New Zealand association ceased in 2005 and the federation now only uses the name "Animals Australia" - the name adopted as an Australian trading name in the late 1990s. Animals Australia representatives have contributed to Government enquiries and animal welfare law reform since the 1980s, and currently serve on State 'Animal Welfare Advisory Committees' and the Australian Animal Welfare Advisory Committee (AusAWAC).Animals Australia conducts investigations and public awareness campaigns on a range of animal welfare issues, including rodeos, horse racing, the fur trade, animal testing, the dairy industry, fishing, kangaroo shooting, exotic animal circuses, shedded sheep, mulesing, duck shooting, puppy farms and greyhound racing.However they are most noted for their major work towards ending factory farming and the live export trade.Animals Australia's investigations in the Middle East in 2006 resulted in the first suspension of the live export trade and a benchmark prosecution of a live export company for cruelty.Their investigations into the export of Australian cattle to Indonesia in 2011 led to a temporary suspension of the trade to Indonesia and the implementation of industry-wide Supply Chain Assurance Standards, monitored by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.The Indonesian investigation led to an expose by ABC TV's Four Corners program entitled A Bloody Business which earned the reporters a Gold Walkley Award and Logie for 'Most Outstanding Public Affairs Report'.In October 2012 Animals Australia launched its largest ever public awareness campaign initiative called "Make it Possible, with the goal of ending factory farming in Australia.A series of advertisements, featuring animated pigs and chickens and a musical soundtrack to the song Somewhere, performed by players from the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, was played on commercial television stations and in cinemas.
