We would like to acknowledge the residents of Lilydale in Melbourne who contacted us about the pending slaughter of their local roos, and for their ongoing vigilance in keeping them safe from the Victorian government and developers. A relocation proposal was submitted to DEWLP by an incredible team of activists however this was rejected by the developer when a government paid scientist submitted an alternative relocation proposal that involved the separation of the mob and the euthanasia of those ‘not fit for relocation’. ASK fought hard through the media to expose this cruel alternative relocation proposal and continued to provide ongoing support to the residents in their battle to save their beloved roos.
