We have some great news: New Zealand will finally end its live-export trade.
The country – which currently sends around 3 million live farmed animals every year on horrific voyages around the world to be used as “breeding stock” – will phase out the practice over the next two years. It’s a massive win for animals!
PETA Australia has written to the New Zealand government several times urging it to ban live export – most recently just last month, following a blockage in the Suez Canal that trapped at least 20 ships carrying cows and sheep, putting the lives of hundreds of thousands of animals at risk.
