AnimalFest is the premier animal awareness and education event on the Tasmanian calendar.  Now in its third year, and with a new name, AnimalFest will again be packed full of fun-filled activities for all ages. We will be featuring some fabulous live music from talented animal-friendly performers including the Blue Mosquitoes, Kate Rowe, Yyan and McDougall, and Greentease. An expressive dancer will show us her animal moves, inspirational words will come from local animal protection experts including Anne Boxhall from the Dogs Home, Greg Irons from Bonorong Wildlife Park, Craig Webb from the Raptor Refuge and Emma Haswell from Brightside Farm Sanctuary. There will be informative stalls, circus and music workshops, art displayed in a Mongolian style Yurt, delicious Vegan food from Fresh Café, Vegetarian Tasmania and the amazing Funky Pies all the way from Bondi Beach. A very special guest will join us on the day, Lynnie the pig from Brightside farm sanctuary will greet people with her friendly nature. Brave Lynnie once appeared on 60 minutes and 7.30 report exposing what its like for pigs confined to sow stalls in factory farms.

AnimalFest is a time to discover something new, or to learn more, about non-human animals.  Many of us share our daily lives with non-human animals, whether a dog or cat, fish or rat, horse or cow.  We regularly have experiences with other species, though many people rarely pause long enough to think about how our lives can impact so greatly on the lives of many non-human animals.

Against Animal Cruelty Tasmania relies solely upon the support from our members, volunteers and hard working committee members who are driven only by their compassion.

When – Saturday 1st October, 9am to 3pm.

Where – Parliament Lawns, Salamanca place, Hobart.
