Folks - we urgently need your help!
The Government wants to repeal the ban on farmed animal (livestock) exports. The industry is budgeting a million dollars to make this happen.
VAWA is a charity - without a million dollars.
Can you help? Please re-share.

You couldn’t write a book… no one would publish it due to inconsistencies and contradictions only a few pages apart…
Oh - and a complete lack of a coherent storyline.
It’s like one of those, ‘pick a page’ books, where you make up the story as you go along. 🤯

There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph.
