Veteran Tasmanian animal rights activist Emma Haswell is delivering a public address at Toorak College Mount Eliza on the 22nd of February at 7pm. Bookings are essential. There is no charge.
Emma Haswell’s work has featured on 60 Minutes, ‘Australian Story’ and the 730 Report. She has appeared on many other current affairs programs and been reported widely by the national and state print media.
As Director of the Brightside Farm Sanctuary in Tasmania, Emma Haswell spoke to over 5000 students last year. Her achievements include the alignment of Tasmanian animal husbandry regulation for pigs with current European standards.
Emma Haswell’s argument for ethical animal husbandry practice is highly persuasive. Her courageous personal testament to the capacity of individuals to manifest change is inspirational. She says that “We have the power within us to make things right. I want to share that experience.”
South East Centre of Sustainability President Steve Karakitsos says “Her moving address at our AGM and several schools in the South East last year dealt not just with animal welfare but also core matters concerned with leadership.”
Emma Haswell says, “A number of Tasmania’s most prestigious schools bring me in to talk about leading beyond authority. I guess the teachers who ask me are seeing beyond the fact that I am trespassing. They are seeing that radical action has to be taken in order to improve the life of animals”.
The event is being partnered by the South East Centre of Sustainability’s Speakers in Schools Program and Toorak College who have sponsored the event. It is the keynote address of the College’s Sustainability Week and is open to the public at no cost. Emma Haswell is also available for a limited number of school bookings.
