SAFE’s vision is a world where animal rights are valued. We work to achieve that vision through our mission to end the exploitation of animals.
That future isn’t far away. With the help of our supporters, every day we are making massive wins for thousands of animals, and each step forward brings us closer to an Aotearoa where all animals matter.
SAFE is lifting the lid on one of the dirtiest secrets of the dairy industry… foetal calf blooding. Largely unfamiliar to the public, and done behind closed slaughterhouse doors, serum is produced from the blood of unborn calves. During foetal calf blooding, a pregnant cow is slaughtered, her calf removed, and the blood of her unborn calf is then drained with a needle inserted into the heart without pain relief.
The scale of suffering faced by animals in New Zealand, particularly farmed animals, is immense - but we are driving positive change at an immense scale too. Stand with us as we demand change for animals in Aotearoa.
We are calling on the House of Representatives to create a new role of a Commissioner for Animals, to review the animal welfare system, including regulations, report on the latest animal welfare science, and provide independent oversight and accountability for animal welfare in Aotearoa.
Together we have made history for animals. Find out more about this historic victory and how you can help us secure an immediate ban on all live animal exports
