What’s next in the fight to Stop Live Export
What’s next in the fight to Stop Live Export
THE VOTES ARE IN
and South Africans want better for our animals!
17,536 individuals and organisations submitted comments on the draft live export regulations, with a staggering 95% of respondents believing that Live Export cannot be regulated and should be banned.
A big thank you to all of our supporters who submitted their comments to government and helped to spread the word, we could not have done it without you!
WHAT’S NEXT
The Department of Agriculture will review and analyse all the submissions received and prepare a “Response to Comments” report.
A revised version of the regulations may be drafted to incorporate reasonable or necessary changes.
The regulations will then undergo legal scrutiny by the Office of the Chief State Law Adviser, before the Minister formally approves the final version, which will then be gazetted.
Due to the large volume of comments received, we anticipate that this process will take several months
IN THE MEANTIME
We will continue our media campaigns to keep public pressure on government and ensure the consultation process is taken seriously.
The vast majority of South Africans have spoken clearly: live animal exports by sea must be banned, and government must listen!
