Five years after banning live exports, the New Zealand government is considering resuming the live export of sheep to Saudi Arabia.
If allowed to resume, many thousands of sheep will be subjected to a 20-day journey packed into cramped, filthy containers. Thousands will die on the journey from starvation, dehydration and disease. Those who survive will suffer fear and injury, only to be inhumanely slaughtered at their destination.
WSPA ask you to add your name to a letter to the Hon. John Key, PM of New Zealand, to ask him to stand against the cruelty of live export and maintain New Zealand’s reputation as a world leader in animal welfare - go to e-activist.com/ea-campaign/clientcampaign.do?ea.client.id=24&ea.campaign.id=3309
