SAFE vigil for chickens
On August 17, 2013, SAFE held a vigil in Aotea Square to highlight the plight of the 90 million chickens farmed and killed for meat every year. 90 activists each held the body of a chicken who had died on a factory farm.
Farmwatch supported SAFE on this action by collecting the dead chickens from farms across Auckland.
The bodies were buried during a small ceremony at an animal sanctuary. Their grave will become a memorial garden dedicated to the 90 and to the chickens who are being slaughtered every day in New Zealand after a short life of misery and cruelty.
Chickens raised for meat live a life of constant suffering right from day one. See our Chicken farming page for further information.
