February 3rd, 2020

The Yangtze Fortune live export stock ship arrived at Port Taranaki on Thursday. Protestors are set to gather near Port Taranaki on Friday to demonstrate against the livestock ship Yangtze Fortune exporting about 4000 live cows to farms in China. The ship arrived at 12.45pm on Thursday and animal welfare advocates SAFE are organising a peaceful protest at the Ocean View Parade/Bayly St corner at 12.30pm, following on from a protest at the Ports of Auckland earlier in the week.

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.
