Dr John Hellström, VAWA & a collection of animal welfare organisations are all advocating strongly to get the National-led coalition government to retain the ban on farmed animal export by sea.

'That decent food should be the default, not the privilege of those who can afford it. And that providing good food to those with lower incomes must be a key goal. To quote the report, to work to ensure “the sustainable choice becomes the choice by default”'

'At the heart of this transition towards a new way of farming is the realisation that food systems need to provide everyone with easy access to safe, nutritious, and affordable food, produced sustainably to high standards of animal welfare.'

I am pleased to see a consensus on the foundational importance of #animalwelfare.

These recommendations must now be translated into actions with concrete timelines. This is also a democratic duty to the millions of citizens calling for better standards: https://t.co/f53QA0rgZP

[Steph Ghislain @Steph_ghislain]

Very pleased to see strong calls regarding #TradePolicy !

Trade policy should be coherent with our sustainability standards, and yes, that means the EC, where WTO compatible, should adopt more import requirements - notably on #AnimalWelfare💪

[Veterinarians for Animal Welfare Aotearoa @Vets4AWA]

We’d also really appreciate if you can donate a penny to support our work. Can you spare a few dollars (we know things are tough out there - for us too, and always for the animals we are trying to help). We’d be super grateful for any support.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about who has done what...

Who is to be trusted - those making money from the trade, or the Ministry supporting them...? 🤔

[Dr. Helen Beattie, BVSc. @DrHelenBeattie]

'Chaired again by [MPI's AHW Director, Carolyn] Guy, the second gold standard workshop was focused on developing a “long-term sustainable export system that meets political and societal concerns”.

The ban was due to come into effect four months later.'
