| If you’re confused about animal welfare issues at the moment, it’s no wonder! The country is on the verge of increasing animal cruelty sentences, banning sow crates, legalising dairy factory farms, and now proposing to end New Zealand’s moratorium on whaling! While the government grapples with its inconsistencies, SAFE is urging supporters to maintain our stance on all animal cruelty, starting with making a submission to help the pigs. |
