新西兰提议的猪福利法将禁闭期延长到2035年,尽管公众反对,而且咨询期很短。 New Zealand’s proposed pig welfare law extends confinement use until 2035 despite public opposition and a short consultation period.

就新西兰拟修改的猪福利法举行为期14天的公众协商, 引起了动物福利团体的批评, 动物福利团体认为时间框架不足以进行如此重大的政策转变。 A 14-day public consultation on New Zealand’s proposed pig welfare law changes has drawn criticism from animal welfare groups, who call the timeframe inadequate for such a significant policy shift. 《动物福利(猪管理条例)修正法案》现已提交初级生产特别委员会审议,该法案将扩大使用拖车箱和铺垫摊位——以前被裁定为非法的封闭系统——延长到2035年,从而扭转了过去五年的淘汰期限。 The Animal Welfare (Regulations for Management of Pigs) Amendment Bill, now before the Primary Production Select Committee, would extend the use of farrowing crates and mating stalls—confinement systems previously ruled unlawful—until 2035, reversing a prior five-year phase-out deadline. 尽管公众强烈反对, 民意测验显示73%支持禁令, 维护者认为短短协商期会破坏民主进程和尽职调查。 Despite strong public opposition, with polls showing 73% support for a ban, advocates argue the short consultation period undermines democratic process and due diligence. 委员会将在10月23日的最后期限之前接受提交. The committee is accepting submissions ahead of a deadline on October 23.
