People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has launched a Try to Relate to My Fate campaign in Australia. The group seeks to ban the export of live sheep and cattle from Australia to the Middle East and other places where the animals are slaughtered under conditions that would be illegal in the West.

Further, according to PETA, sheep and cattle die by the tens of thousands each year when they are crowded together on multi-tiered, open-decked ships for voyages across thousands of miles of sea, during which the temperatures regularly reach more than 104 degrees. During these journeys, which can take several days or even weeks, many animals die of starvation or heat exhaustion or are trampled by their terrified pen mates.

The group has used a variety of methods to spread their message. Invicta FC strawweight Bec Hyatt took part in one such effort, jamming as many people into a phone booth as possible.
