About Animals Aotearoa
Mission
Ending the suffering of farmed animals.
Kia mutu ai te whakataumaha i ngā kararehe pāmu.
Animals Aotearoa was founded to drive change for chickens bred for meat by encouraging food businesses to end the worst suffering for chickens. We are part of the Open Wing Alliance, a global alliance of over 80 organisations working to improve the lives of chickens around the world. We are also part of the Aquatic Animal Alliance, working in a similar way to help fish and other aquatic animals.
Launched in 2021, Animals Aotearoa is an animal advocacy organisation campaigning to end the suffering of farmed animals in Aotearoa, focusing on chickens bred for meat. Animals Aotearoa is working with leading food companies to encourage them to commit to using slower-growing breeds of chicken, which have been shown to be healthier and have much better lives, and other welfare improvements specified in the Better Chicken Commitment throughout their supply chain. We ask businesses to set clear deadlines for implementation and be transparent in reporting annual progress towards their commitments.
