Ramsay is on a mission to bring positive change, which will benefit everyone of all species and political and apolitical persuasions. Recently, she made an urgent appeal to Australians and the Australian government:

There is no kind way to send huge numbers of individuals overseas by boat to be killed. The excuse of economic necessity is a hollow one: Three independent economic reports inform us that the impact of shutting down live export would be negligible. The impact would be felt by the industries, not by farmers. On the contrary, shutting this cruel and unreformable industry would open up pathways to regenerative forms of farming that could benefit farmers and our environment and the health of people.

Earlier this year in The Hague, there was a convention of animal political parties from 22 different countries. Throughout the convention, Australia was repeatedly spoken of as a standard of animal welfare to avoid, due primarily to live export. Some say: But if we don’t do it, others will do it worse than us. That is an absurd reason to continue the industry. When has being bad, but the other guy being worse, ever been a reason to justify doing something bad?

Let’s stop live export and invest in agricultural industries that offer better jobs, regenerate our land and give real hope to our farmers. If we have to trade, let’s trade in something, not someone.

Animal Justice Party
Formed in 2009, with thousands of members across Australia and one elected MP, the Animal Justice Party (AJP) is part of a rapidly growing international movement. The AJP aims to represent animals in parliament and to ensure laws and policies are implemented and enforced to achieve genuine justice for animals.

Ramsay je na misiji da donese pozitivne promjene koje će pogodovati svakoj vrsta, kako i političkim i apolitičnim uvjerenjima. Nedavno je žurno pozvala Australce i australsku vladu:

“Ne postoji lijep način slanja ogromnog broja pojedinaca u inozemstvo brodom da budu ubijeni. Isprika ekonomske nužnosti je šuplja: Tri nezavisna ekonomska izvješća nas upozoravaju da bi utjecaj zatvaranja izvoza živih životinja bio zanemariv. Utjecaj će osjetiti industrije, a ne poljoprivrednici. Naprotiv, zaustavljanje ove okrutne i nepromjenjive industrije otvarilo bi putove regenerativnim oblicima uzgoja koje bi mogle pomoći poljoprivrednicima, našem okolišu i zdravlju ljudi.

Ranije ove godine u Hagu, održala se konvencija političkih stranaka za životinje iz 22 različitih zemalja. Tijekom cijele konvencije, Australija se više puta spominjala kao standard dobrobiti životinja koji bi se trebao izbjeći, prvenstveno zbog izvoza živih životinja. Neki kažu: Ali ako to ne učinimo, drugi će to učiniti gore od nas. To je apsurdni razlog za nastavak industrije. Kada je biti loš, s pretpostavkom da je netko drugi gori, postao opravdan razlog za loše postupanje?

Prekinimo izvoz živih životinja i ulažimo u poljoprivredne industrije koje nude bolje poslove, regeneriraju našu zemlju i daju pravu nadu našim poljoprivrednicima. Ako moramo trgovati, bolje je trgovati s nečim, nego s nekim.”
