OPINION: It strikes me as beyond absurd that dozens of dead New Zealand cows are now floating in the East China Sea. The only way to do this is through a complete ban on live animal export in New Zealand. I am angry and disappointed that the government has not taken seriously the concerns many people have about live animal export. A petition to ban live animal export was presented to the government in October 2019 with over 30,000 signatures. Now is the time to reflect deeply on whether live animal export is reflective of our core values in New Zealand.
