The Animal Justice Party is determined to make Melbourne a city
that cares about its animals as well as its people. We should remove
horses and carriages from city streets altogether. City traffc is no
place for animals, nor their manure. Dogs, foxes and cats should
not have to suffer short painful lives for our fashion. We can lead
on this issue by stopping the sale of fur in our city. The fnning of
sharks for food is a cruel and wasteful practice, and we can again
lead by banning these products. For the citys human residents,
the rates are too high, and can be reduced for most if we return
to calculations based on site values, not capital improved values.
This also encourages development of the unused and derelict sites
within the city. We should also proceed with progressively covering
the train yards east of Russell Street. This would create a lot more
parklands, open space and gardens for people and animals. If you
