Animal Welfare
All animals, of which we are one species, are sentient. This means we feel pain, fear, grief, joy and happiness and build relationships with one another. Despite this, non-human animals suffer daily in the name of agriculture, beauty, sport, entertainment and scientific research. It is said that New Zealand has some of the best animal welfare legislation in the world yet its enforcement is significantly lacking.
