Today is World Day for Lab Animals!

A day set aside for us all to commemorate the suffering of the millions of animals in laboratories around the world and raise awareness of better, human-relevant research methods that do not involve inflicting pain on animals.

This issue is so important that there isn't just one day to recognise lab animals. The few days on either side of World Day for Lab Animals make up World 'Week' for Lab Animals!

*GHERKIN IS STILL LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME! *

Gherkin is 16 weeks old, full of energy and loves attention and being around humans. He was found on the side of a road when he was one day old and has lived with us since. If you think you'd like to give our little guy a loving home, here are a few things to consider:

-Although he’s pretty small now he will grow into a 500 kg pig, so a suitable amount of space, food supply and proper fencing for pigs is crucial. So please consider the cost of food.
-He is very used to human contact and can get stressed when he’s alone so would need a piggy friend. Homes with friends will only be considered.
-He can bite when frustrated or annoyed at something, although we hope he will grow out of this.
-You would need to live within a 2 hour drive of Otaki.
- He lives fully outside now so will fit into outside life and a new paddock great.
- He is also de sexed.
- He cannot be used for agriculture practice.

Gherkin can be really sweet and playful, we think he will grow up to be a great pig. If you think you could give him a good forever home, we look forward to hearing from you.

Please Note: Adoption is very time and energy consuming for us so please only get in touch if you are seriously able to adopt him.

Please share this post and let’s find little gherkin his forever home 🐷❤️. ... See more

Happy Monday! If you feel like saving some cows directly - here is a a link to Save pregnant cows from slaughter immediately. Every little counts. ^SPB

We urgently need your help!!!! Please donate to save the precious lives of these dairy cows and their unborn babies bound for slaughter. - Givealittle is the place to donate and fundraise for causes and charities online. ... See more

Additionally here's a link to urge our own government to ban live export - links are available to both NZ and Australia governments on this page. ^SPB

Live exports are possibly as cruel as it gets. It truly boggles the mind how humans are capable of inflicting such cruelty, so regularly, on such scales.
Beware, this report, enabled by Animals Australia, will shock you. But everyone has to see it to believe it. It is our obligation to them, as humans.
And the thing to remember is: where there is no consumption there are no live exports. Stop buying and the cruelty ends.
While New Zealand does not export live animals for immediate consumption, we do export live animals to far away countries under other pretence. The suffering is the same.
