It certainly matters to many passionate people, and it matters to the animals. Here is what one supporter of animals has to say:
"Are you appalled by the recent footage from pig farms around New Zealand, exposed by SAFE and Farmwatch?
(See
safe.org.nz/stop-factory-farming/pigs/Pig-Expose-2014/) Do you want to see an end to cruel factory farming systems? People all over the country are joining together to make a big impact for the animals on Saturday July 26th!
For the first time ever, a number of political parties are talking about banning factory farming. NOW is the time to show that the public DO NOT support these cruel practices in any way, shape or form.
There will be rallies, petition signings, public demonstrations and all kinds of pig costumed events.
Join in with the national day of action and together let's raise our voices like we’ve never raised them before, and demand an immediate end to the cruelty that is factory farming. The animals need us!
If you are in Hamilton, NZ on Saturday 26th July - 1 - 3pm, Garden Place you might want to join a rally.
