| SAFE was back in the media this week, kicking off with an exclusive current affairs item on Campbell Live. New Zealand Pork Industry Board CEO Sam McIvor did his best to defend the industry and maintain his composure, but those horrific images of abused pigs from around New Zealand did little to convince viewers that the industry wasn’t in serious trouble. SAFE TV adverts also began this week, and this Saturday, SAFE will host a high-profile event at the Auckland Museum. If you are in Auckland, you should come along! |
