Please sign and share this petition to stop the University of Otago building a huge facility to torture and kill thousands of animals. While other nations have stopped or are phasing out animal experimentation, why is New Zealand proposing to build more cruel laboratories? We need to come out of the barbarism of the dark ages and use much safer, much more reliable, human-based research for human issues.
Trustees Paul and Linda were joined by eight of our most regular dog-walking volunteers for a night to remember - dining at Hectors Restaurant, Heritage Auckland Hotel. The haute cuisine mid-winter vegan buffet exceeded all of our expectations as we savoured dish after fabulous dish.
Award winning chef Jinu Abraham and his team outdid themselves once again! The attentive staff and the general ambience completed the fine dining experience.
Congratulations to the management of Heritage Auckland Hotel for recognising a growing trend and for routinely providing cruelty-free meals and beverages with flair.
All the same excuses are rolled out in New Zealand. Rodeo is legal animal abuse. Stop supporting it and it will die a natural death. There's nothing 'entertaining' about watching terrified animals being brutally bullied.

Sixteen-week-old Niki was taken to a vet clinic for a lethal injection, partly because she wouldn't make a good pig dog. Fortunately the vet nurse knew about Animal Re-homing and urgently contacted us for help. Thankfully, instead of paying for her to be put down, Niki's caregiver contributed towards her vet costs and agreed to sign her over. A few days later our dedicated volunteers Brown and Jardine met the kind nurse half way and brought affectionate Niki to Auckland.
Niki is a sweet and loyal little German Shepherd x Border Collie puppy who loves to be with people and other dogs. Already this intelligent girl can be walked off-leash, comes to the call, sits and lays down. Although still underweight, she is beginning to fill out nicely. She will be a beautiful dog for an active individual, couple or family.

Many thanks to Dog Protection Society New Zealand for fostering her for us and to Hayley at Designer Dog Grooming Ltd for nail-clipping, brushing and bathing Niki.
As this beautiful video clip demonstrates, chickens can be just as loving and interactive as other animal companions. Please don't eat them or their cruelly produced eggs.
