Folks - we urgently need your help!

The Government wants to repeal the ban on farmed animal (livestock) exports. The industry is budgeting a million dollars to make this happen.

VAWA is a charity - without a million dollars.

Can you help? Please re-share.

You couldn’t write a book… no one would publish it due to inconsistencies and contradictions only a few pages apart…

Oh - and a complete lack of a coherent storyline.

It’s like one of those, ‘pick a page’ books, where you make up the story as you go along. 🤯

This picture says it all. Poor Brynn.

Living with Brynn and seeing her trauma first hand consolidated my view that private sales must be banned.

Brynn could not be kept safe due to ongoing, random, private use of fireworks.

Don’t buy or use fireworks. 🐾

Plant-based is not the answer. Just look at Lake Horowhenua.

Nature is not black and white; it’s not that animals are wrong and plants are right. Creating an either-or narrative is unhelpful.

It’s HOW we farm both that matters.

We need #lightlocalbiodiverse farm systems.

@paullecomte.bsky.social’s beautiful handiwork.

Chuffed to meet you IN REAL LIFE, Paul, chew the fat and take ownership of this treasure!

Thank you. 🥰

So … this is not my daughter. Quite a thing, these scams.

Watch out.

Back at it after a very long stand down due to COVID (sick for 5-6 weeks then a couple of weeks to meet NZBlood requirements).
