I acknowledge that those involved in the trade have made improvements over recent years, but the voyage times and the journey through the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere markets will always impose animal welfare challenges. Despite the best efforts of industry and the Ministry for Primary Industries, as well as any regulatory measures that we could put in place, as long as the trade continues the risk to animal welfare will remain. We've also seen an increase in consumer focus on perceptions of animal welfare in a number of markets, such as the United States, the EU, and the UK. With these market-led insights in mind, recurrent, negative animal welfare incidents and reports could inflict lasting damage to New Zealand's reputation.
