The Animal Liberation movement of Australia was founded in 1976 by Christine Townsend, based on the philosophies of Professor Peter Singer, as set out in his book "Animal Liberation". Animal Liberation has independant branches in all states of Australia and many thousands of supporters. Animal Liberation in Western Australia was founded soon after and was incorporated in 1983 as Animal Liberation (WA) Inc. It is a volunteer run non-profit organisation that receives no government or other funding. The organisation obtains funds through donations, subscriptions and other fund-raising efforts. Animal Liberation (WA) Inc. has a book and video library as well as other resource material that is available for use, and is used in numerous talks given free of charge at schools, universities and other organisations.
