Farm Week Brings Country Life to Auckland at Cornwall Park
From 14th - 22nd March, Cornwall Park will play host to Farm Week, seven days of activities centred on farming, agriculture and the farm's heritage on the site.
It follows a backlash from animal welfare organisations and members of the public who say live export is "inhumane".
Cornwall Park management says it has reviewed its decision to support the breeding programme.
Live exports of cows came under scrutiny last year when live export ship Gulf Livestock 1 capsized and sank off the coast of China.
The tragedy saw 5,867 New Zealand cows drown and 41 crew members, including two New Zealanders, lost at sea.
For nearly two years, MPI has been reviewing the controversial live export trade, which resumed after improvements to animal welfare standards were made.
