SAFE has made a complaint to the prime minister after the decision to allow the continued use of farrowing crates and mating stalls.
From The Detail: Changes announced by Animal Welfare Minister Andrew Hoggard turn out not to be what they appeared on the label The post The pig welfare reforms that roll back pig welfare appeared first on Newsroom .
Farrowing crates were set to be banned from the end of this year, but the government has just pushed the changes back a whole decade. What’s all this then? There was some big pig news announced last week, with associate minister of agriculture Andrew Hoggard (no relation) announcing a raft of changes to the Animal Welfare Act of 1999 .
Officials say farrowing crate changes could be done by 2030, but Andrew Hoggard extended it to 2035, a move criticised by the Greens: “He's the minister of animal welfare, he's not the minister of pig farming.”
Andrew Hoggard backed stricter labelling rules, but Cabinet opted out —prompting MPI to draft a near-identical standard minus the controversial clauses.
