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.
We are calling on Government to create a plan of action to assist Kiwi farmers out of industrial dairy farming, to more ethical and sustainable employment. For the sake of our animals, our health and the integrity of our land, New Zealand needs to cultivate a more sustainable future, before it's too late.
Animals suffer and die in the New Zealand greyhound racing industry. Dogs are injured on the track and often killed, as their injuries will prevent them from racing again. An even larger number of healthy greyhounds are killed simply because they do not run fast enough, and therefore do not provide a financial return. Send the Minister for Racing, Hon Grant Robertson and Associate Minister of Agriculture, Hon Meka Whaitiri an email demanding a ban on greyhound racing to be announced in 2022.
Your actions can make a huge difference for the millions of hens living in cramped, unnatural conditions on intensive farms. Take action now to free hens from cages in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Animal Law Association and SAFE have filed a legal challenge with the High Court stating that rodeo events are in violation of the Animal Welfare Act.

Sadly, just beneath the pristine waters of the Marlborough Sounds and Stewart Island, millions of salmon are living secret lives of misery and suffering in underwater factory farms. These farms have no place in Aotearoa and SAFE is working towards a ban on fish farming – something Argentina has already achieved. Until then, it’s important to ensure that those trapped in this cruel system are better protected. SAFE is calling on NAWAC to create a code of welfare for farmed fishes, as a matter of urgency.
In April 2021, the Government announced a ban on live export by sea, with a 'wind down' period of up to two years. Two years is too long. Write to the Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture, urging them to implement this ban immediately.
