Many organisations and individuals have come together for a Nationwide protest urging the government to ban live export now, not in two years.
The Auckland demonstration will meet at the town hall at 12 noon and March down Queen Street to Te Komititanga Square at 12.30 for speeches.
“Potentially hundreds of thousands of cows could be shipped to China before the 2 years is up,” says co- organiser Anna Rippon. “MPI has already banned shipment of animals for slaughter. The two-year delay is concerning for the integrity of New Zealand”
Co-organiser Deno Stock agrees. ” Two years is too long. The prime minister should show that her concern over animal welfare is genuine and not political posturing. She should not continue to delay like she did after the tragic loss of human and nonhuman lives in the ‘Gulf Livestock 1’ last September.”

Press Release – Direct Action Everywhere Auckland
Direct Action Everywhere Auckland are holding a peaceful demonstration at the ASB Showgrounds, from 1pm on Friday 2 April outside the petting area at the Epsom Easter show.
“The petting area is popular with children wanting to touch baby animals,” says DxE spokesperson and former slaughterhouse worker Xander Butler. “It is great to see the way children have such empathy with other sentient Earthlings. Unfortunately they lose this empathy due to cultural conditioning that sees animals simply as commodities to be eaten. Our aim is to show the children and the wider public just what happens to these cute animals in normal agricultural practices.
