Postcards against pig cruelty!

Complete SAFE’s e-card against pig cruety pack now.

1) Eateries against pig cruelty
Many cafés and restaurants have already decided to stop using battery eggs because of customer demand. With your help, we can encourage them to do the same with factory-farmed pork. Print a copy of our Eateries Against Pig Cruelty postcard and take to your local café or restaurant. Ask the manager to show their support by filling in the card and returning it to SAFE. We will then provide the manager with more information.

2) Lobbying for Lucy
The key to improving animal welfare legislation lies in convincing politicians to support the campaign. By sending the Lobbying for Lucy e-card to your local MP you are helping to get pigs on the political agenda. We need MPs to convince the Minister of Agriculture to ban sow stalls and farrowing crates as required by the law. Email your completed Lobbying for Lucy e-card to your local MP asking him or her to support calls for more humane legislation.

Take action!

• Try making your household pork free! It might be a challenge but it’s a fantastic way to spare pigs from suffering! At the very least, have a pork-free week once a month!

• Have a Babe night out! Invite your friends over to watch the pig-loving movie Babe. La-la-la-!!

• Check out the upcoming motion picture Charlotte’s Web which features beautiful pig Wilbur in all his glory!

• Choose ya words wisely! Using phrases like “she’s a pig”, “eats like pig” and “filthy pig” are usually meant to be derogatory to the person spoken to, but they are demeaning to pigs. Why not be kind to your friends and pigs!

• Have a compassionate Christmas! Encourage your household or family to spare a pig’s life this year by choosing not to have a leg of ham. Now that really is extending peace and goodwill for Christmas!

• Support SAFE’s valuable work for animals by joining SAFE’s Supporter Programme. By making small regular monthly donations you continue your support for our work against animal cruelty in New Zealand.

Visit your MP

We are told that MPs appreciate personal visits to hear local concerns. Why not visit your MP and ask them what they can do to help pigs. Talking to an MP does take courage but it is extremely important. Don’t be shy, give it a go.

SAFE can provide further information for you or the MP if required. But remember just being able to convey why you are opposed to intensive pig farming to an MP is just as important. MPs, like most people, often know very little about factory farming and are usually shocked when told the facts.
