Petition to MPI regarding animal abuse - please sign
Hello everyone,
You may have seen this week that Farmwatch have released a disturbing video showing a dairy farmer abusing his cows by hitting them with a steel pipe. That was not the only abuse they suffered. Staff at the farm grew deeply concerned at the level of abuse and went to MPI who did nothing. The abuse did not stop and again they went to MPI who still did nothing. After trying to speak to the dairy owner himself and get help from MPI the staff went to Farmwatch and they installed hidden cameras to get proof of the abuse. This proof they have shared on social media.
MPI do not have a great track record when it comes to picking up animal abuse or prosecuting those found to be abusing their animals. I want to ensure that this mans actions will have consequences so have started a petition to send to MPI hoping that he will get more than just a slap on the wrist.
Here is the link to the petition - please sign it and I encourage you to share it on Facebook and any other forms of social media you have.

For anyone wondering why I created the petition or who simply want to know more about this story please read this article. It's very good and after reading it you will understand why I have to try and do something to get justice for these animals.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
