2024 is flying by, and we can't quite believe that this will be our last Public Meeting Webinar for the year. We are very excited to announce our three speakers and we would love to see you there. Animal Liberation’s Public Meeting Webinars are a fantastic opportunity to learn about our work and how you can become involved, as well as hear from other like-minded advocates and organisations whom we are always honoured to host. Our Webinars are also a wonderful way to connect with other compassionate people!

Introducing our three wonderful speakers:

𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: Alex Vince, Campaign Director - Animal Liberation.

Animal Liberation's Campaign Director and co-founder of the Coalition Against 1080 Poison, Alex Vince, brings years of dedicated advocacy experience fighting lethal animal control methods. This ground breaking and extensive work has exposed critical animal welfare issues, from state-sanctioned wildlife killing to the exploitation of animals in industrial farming.

Now, Alex is leading Animal Liberation's latest campaign, "From Harm to Harmony", working to ban deadly second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) that devastate entire food chains. With compelling evidence showing that 92% of sampled nocturnal birds contain these poisons, Alex's presentation will reveal how SGARs threaten everything from companion animals to native wildlife, and outline concrete steps we can take to break this toxic cycle. Join us for this important webinar to learn how you can help create a safer environment for all creatures.

𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: Rosemary Elliot, President of Sentient, The Veterinary Institute for Animal Ethics.

Rosemary studied veterinary science at the University of Sydney after establishing her career as a clinical psychologist. She was an executive of the student organisation ‘Veterinary Science for Animal Welfare’ and student representative on the faculty’s Animal Welfare Advisory Committee. After graduating, her honours research led to the first published study of greyhound adoption.

Her experiences during veterinary training fostered an ambition to focus directly on animal welfare and ethics. She co-founded Sentient in 2011 and is their current President. Rosemary now combines her psychology background and veterinary skills to contribute to the animal movement through writing, public speaking, political advocacy, research, small animal veterinary practice, volunteer veterinary work and supervising DVM students on animal welfare and advocacy rotations. She is a member of the Australian Veterinary Association, Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (Animal Welfare and Ethics chapter) and also of VALE (Vets Against Live Export) and Vets Beyond Borders. Rosemary’s particular interests are animal sentience, the human-animal bond and the plight of production animals and animals used for research and entertainment. She is the proud guardian of a rescue dog named after Greyfriars Bobby. Rosemary was awarded the 2024 David Bayvel Memorial Award for Excellence in Animal Welfare by the Animal Welfare Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.
