Lily Carrington

Candidate for Mayor • Hamilton City Council
Official Candidate Statement

The world is in crisis - war, climate chaos, and systems treating animals, people and Te Taiao as expendable. The change we need starts locally, in how we live, protect animals, and care for our shared home.

Vote for Lily Carrington, Animal Justice Party – Animals. Environment. People.

Everything is connected. Cruelty to animals and destruction of nature harm us all. Local councils shape how we build, move, and protect life. Animals must be considered in those decisions.

We’re fighting for: Mandatory funded desexing of dogs and cats; Funded animal rescues and sanctuaries; Respect for Te Tiriti; Food gardens, native planting, thriving biodiversity; Low rates and efficient governance; More and Better public transport, with companion animals allowed onboard; Clean waters and green spaces - rewilding for climate resilience.

Vote for Lily Carrington, Animal Justice Party. Let’s build communities that protect animals - and us.
