Australian churches have been urged to?take a stand against live animal exports and use the debate as a way to connect with the community, reports Adelaidenow.
At the Animals Australia rally against live animal export in Adelaide yesterday (pictured), animal activist and humanitarian Philip Wollen called on churches to stand up against what he said was not an industry but an atrocity.
"So I call on every church, temple, synagogue and mosque to issue a clarion call from every pulpit, that live animal export is an abomination that must be eradicated - once and for all," he urged.
Adelaide Catholic Archdiocese Vicar-General Father Philip Marshall said Christians were called to stand up for the fair treatment of all living things.
"Our commitment to care for the Earth and all its creatures is central to Catholic teaching and there would be many Catholics involved in actively supporting this commitment as groups and/or individuals," Mr Wollen said.
"That is very far from engaging in party politics which are, in general, an area the church should distance itself from," he said.
