Southland Mud Farming
Mud farming, also known as intensive winter grazing, is a brutal practice where animals are forced to live in overcrowded, knee-deep mud. They sleep, eat, and even give birth in contaminated, cold, and wet conditions. This cruel method violates the Animal Welfare Act and must be stopped.
Stop Live Export
Building on the successful parliamentary petition to ban live exports, we’re taking the next step.
Protect Live Export Ban
Our government’s plan to reverse the live animal export ban risks animal welfare and New Zealand’s reputation. Help us take a stand against this move by sending and sharing this letter.
Sign to Protect Dogs
Every year, thousands of dogs end up in pounds across Aotearoa. Their stories often go untold, and their fates remain unclear. It’s time for change. It’s time for transparency. It’s time for Pawsitive Change.
Cats deserve better
The Animal Justice Party strongly opposes killing cats in hunting competitions. This practice is not ethical or effective beyond the short-term. Competitions are presented as a conservation effort to protect birds, although habitat loss and disturbance remain the main threats to bird populations. It’s incredibly sad to see such violence, under the guise of conservation.
