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.
Every year, animals endure immense suffering and neglect on filthy mud farms. These conditions breach the Animal Welfare Act 1999, inflicting severe pain, distress, and avoidable death.
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 supporters like you, 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.
As a charity, SAFE is reliant on the support of caring people like you to carry out our valuable work. Every gift goes towards providing education, undertaking research and campaigning for the benefit of all animals. SAFE is a registered charity in New Zealand (CC 40428). Contributions of $5 or more are tax-deductible.

Eating plant-based is one of the best ways you can help animals, the planet and your health.
Imagine if you could make a difference for animals every single day. You don’t even have to do anything extraordinary. Every meal is a chance to make a difference. It’s as simple as what you choose to eat! And, it isn’t about missing out – it’s about adding compassion.
Right now, throughout Aotearoa, thousands of newborn calves are being taken from their mothers, trucked off in the cold, and killed. Branded as disposable by-products of the dairy industry, they are fragile, voiceless, and deserve so much more.
Your compassion today can create a future where every animal is valued.
