31 000新西兰人敦促议会设立一个独立的动物专员,因为目前对动物保护的监督系统失灵。 31,000 New Zealanders urge Parliament to create an independent animal commissioner due to systemic failures in current animal protection oversight.

由21个动物保护团体组成的联盟向议会递交了由31 000多名新西兰人签署的请愿书,敦促政府设立一个独立的动物事务专员。 A coalition of 21 animal protection groups has delivered a petition signed by over 31,000 New Zealanders to Parliament, urging the government to create an independent Commissioner for Animals. 联盟说,目前由初级工业部领导的制度由于利益冲突、资金不足和行业影响而遭到破坏,特别是在农场动物监管方面。 The alliance says the current system, led by the Ministry for Primary Industries, is undermined by conflicts of interest, underfunding, and industry influence, particularly in farm animal regulation. 公共投票显示,98%支持动物保护,85%支持独立监督,只有39%认为现行法律得到有效执行。 Public polling shows 98% support animal protection and 85% favor independent oversight, while only 39% believe current laws are effectively enforced. 拟议的专员将确保透明度、问责制和遵守《动物福利法》,使新西兰的标准与全球做法相一致。 The proposed commissioner would ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with the Animal Welfare Act, aligning New Zealand’s standards with global practices.
