Greens not safe!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: Your canine crusader suggests that any farmers or rural folk contemplating voting for the Greens at the upcoming election should have a close look at exactly who is endorsing the party and its policies.

Anti-farming group SAFE has come out in support of Green Party’s policies such as…banning factory farming, exporting of live animals, greyhound racing and the use of animals in rodeo, to name a few.

This goes along with the group’s goals of ending animal farming and moving people to plant-based diets only. One wonders, when New Zealand is looking to and counting on our primary sector to underpin our economy, why any political party or organisation in NZ would produce and support so many anti-farming policies.

The old political adage about how you can’t be green when you are in the red seems to have been missed by both the Greens and SAFE.
