flag New Zealand delays phasing out pig crates and mating stalls until 2035, defying a 2020 court order.

flag New Zealand’s government is proposing to extend the use of farrowing crates and mating stalls for pigs until 2035, delaying a 2025 phase-out mandated by a 2020 High Court ruling that found the systems violated animal welfare laws. flag The new bill bypasses the court’s decision and established legal procedures, drawing criticism from animal welfare groups like NZALA and SAFE, who say it undermines the rule of law. flag The legislation is set for its first reading on October 7, 2025.
