Submission on draft Code of Welfare for Deer
Federated Farmers of New Zealand welcomes the opportunity to submit to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee on the Proposed Code of Welfare for Deer.
Federated Farmers has a keen interest in the welfare of all farmed animals, and we have a strong membership base across all farming sectors in New Zealand.
Federated Farmers considers that a vibrant, well-functioning and competitive rural sector is an essential plank in the economic, and wider wellbeing of the whole country.
The rural economy is a complex web of interrelated industries of which the deer industry is an integral part. They are often farmed in conjunction with other types of stock providing additional income streams for farm enterprises.
