新西兰在一场致命的2020年灾难后,由于公众的反对和福利问题,永久禁止海上出口活性动物。 New Zealand permanently bans sea exports of live animals due to public opposition and welfare concerns after a deadly 2020 disaster.

新西兰以压倒性公众的反对和严重的动物福利关切为由,永久废除了恢复海上动物活体出口的计划。 New Zealand has permanently scrapped plans to reinstate live animal exports by sea, citing overwhelming public opposition and severe animal welfare concerns. 该决定得到安德鲁·霍格德部长的确认,此前内阁的努力停滞不前,2020年海上灾难导致近6 000头动物和41名船员丧生。 The decision, confirmed by Minister Andrew Hoggard, follows stalled Cabinet efforts and a 2020 maritime disaster that killed nearly 6,000 animals and 41 crew members. 尽管该行业进行了游说,并计划开展100万美元的宣传运动,但政府还是放弃了这项提议,调查显示大多数新西兰人和农民反对这一做法。 Despite industry lobbying and a planned $1 million campaign, the government abandoned the proposal, with surveys showing most New Zealanders and farmers oppose the practice. 这项禁令现在有望保持原状,它反映了国家关于动物福利的价值观,保护了数十万动物,同时支持了新西兰的全球声誉。 The ban, now expected to remain in place, reflects national values on animal welfare and protects hundreds of thousands of animals, while supporting New Zealand’s global reputation.
