Angels For Animals Offer Message of Peace
Three beautiful angels and one baby angel with wings and halos will be out in Hobart to spread a message
of peace for animals
Animals Tasmania has a thirteen year history of advocating for non-human animals in Tasmania (in it’s current form and in it’s previous incarnation as Against Animal Cruelty Tasmania).
