Leaders from almost 200 nations have assembled at the Climate Change Conference in France. The peoples of 175 countries around the world took to the streets to demand meaningful action.
New Zealander’s really do care about the devastating effects climate change is having on the environment, humans and animals. Massive crowds of protesters marched throughout Aotearoa over the weekend as part of the People’s Climate March New Zealand.
Animal Re-homing trustees joined 15 thousand campaigners in the Auckland march last Saturday. With the deafening sound of drums, whistles, accordions, guitars, singing and chanting; our political leaders were left in no doubt that their feeble attempts at curbing our polluting habits are hugely inadequate. Thumbs up to everyone who was involved in the marches!

Animal Re-homing was well represented at the Stop Craddock Farms street rally last Thursday. It was the beginning of a 7-day Environment Court process where Cradock’s will try to convince the Judge that they should build NZ’s biggest caged hen prison.
Around 70 determined protestors got up at the crack of dawn to be in Auckland’s CBD by 7.45am. It was a great rally – full of synchronised chanting, inspiring speakers, supportive toots from passing cars and a wonderful variety of placards.
Huge thanks to the organisers and to our volunteers for taking the time and making the effort to fight for battery hens. You all rock! smile emoticon
