We had thousands of supporters write letters to the editor. Every newspaper we listed on our Election Action website received at least one email from a WSPA supporter. So far we've seen letters appear in The MX, Dalby Herald, Sunday Mail, Wimmera Mail Times, Wellington Times, Murray Valley Standard, the Weekend Courier, the Advertiser, Glen Innes Examiner, and Donnybrook Bridgetown Mail.
We're keen to know if there are any more out there. If you had a letter published in your local paper too, please let us know.
Here are some of our favourites:
With your efforts we are proving that Australians are demanding an end to the cruel live export trade.When the new government is in place we will continue to keep animal welfare on the political agenda. Thank you to everyone who wrote or called over the last several weeks. It is through these actions that we take crucial steps towards ending live sheep exports!

Well done WSPA supporters! Unfortunately my letter wasn't published but I did see a letter in the MX a couple of weeks ago. Great way to spread the word WSPA!
Labor candidate for Herbert Tony Mooney expressed his concern about job losses at the launch of the Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union’s (AMIEU) “live export exports jobs” campaign in Townsville this week.
Tony Herbert should have been more concerned with his own Job I think.
Typical of all side line political group
Pander to any minority like animal activists, that must be the last straw before they get voted OUT.
Anonymous I'm guessing you're a Liberal voter? I'm also guessing you're not in support of an end to the cruel export business? And I'm also wondering why you're contributing to this blog post? Go find another publication to spout your rubbish - this space is for people who care about animals!
BAHRAIN is to increase sheep imports by almost 60 per cent during Ramadan to meet food supply demands.
More than 95pc of the approximately 70,000 sheep imported to Bahrain in an average month is shipped live from Australia. Additional meat for the holy month will be transported chilled from a number of sources.
Bahrain Livestock chairman Ibrahim Zainal said a limited stock of live animals in Australia had forced the decision to import chilled meat.
“Australia is the best place from which to import livestock, but there is not enough to cope with the demand in Bahrain over Ramadan,” he said.
“We don’t really have an alternative but to import chilled meat.
“We would be importing only livestock if we could but it is not possible.
