Australian animal welfare advocacy

Giving animal welfare laws teeth.

Bite Back turns animal welfare evidence into legal pressure, public tracking and practical action.

Sources open. Targets named. Outcomes tracked.

Animals are still too often treated as property, production units, pests, resources or tools. But animals are sentient beings with interests of their own. Laws that recognise welfare in principle must protect it in practice.

Bite Back works where evidence, law and public pressure can be made to move something measurable.

Applied Animal Welfare

1080 to Zero

1080 has no place in Australia's animal welfare future. Through the renewed Australian Animal Welfare Strategy, Bite Back is seeking a nationally coordinated and legally implemented end to 1080: replace existing programs with effective lower-welfare-impact methods, reform the regulatory system that continues to authorise it and prohibit all remaining use by 2030.

Affected animals: Foxes, rabbits, wild dogs, dingoes and feral pigs targeted by 1080 programs and Non-target wildlife and companion animals exposed through baiting incidents
Decision-maker: Commonwealth Agriculture Minister
Current action: Tell ministers: 1080 to Zero
