Description

There is a renewed call for the Minister responsible for animal welfare to be stripped of his portfolio over allegations of an "egregious conflict of interest". Animal rights organisation SAFE believes the Associate Minister for Agriculture, Andrew Hoggard's close personal ties to farming significantly compromise his decision making when it comes to the welfare of animals. The Minister has ditched the previous government's committment to ban farrowing crates for sows from this month. SAFE's Debra Ashton spoke to Lisa Owen.
