New Zealand's Maritime Union votes to ban live animal exports, following a 2020 tragedy.

New Zealand's Maritime Union has voted against resuming live animal exports by sea, a practice banned since the 2020 Gulf Livestock 1 incident that led to the loss of 41 crew and 6,000 cattle. The union's decision aligns with the Animal Justice Party's campaign to end animal cruelty and improve New Zealand's global reputation. The AJP is working with local authorities and communities to adopt ethical port policies and invites individuals to sign their No Live Exports Pledge.
