NZ to ban live animal exports by sea AAP 1 hour ago Ben McKay © Dan Peled/AAP PHOTOS New Zealand has announced it will ban live animal exports over the next two years.
Citing reputational risk from poor animal welfare practice, New Zealand is banning live exports of animals by sea.
Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor on Wednesday announced the controversial practice would end within the next two years.
"There's a lot of public pressure here, a lot of concern," Mr O'Connor said.
"We must stay ahead of the curve in a world where animal welfare is under increasing scrutiny."
The practice was paused in September 2020 after the Gulf Livestock 1 ship sank on a journey to China, drowning 41 crew - including two Kiwis and two Australians - and almost 6000 cattle.

WELLINGTON – New Zealand said on Wednesday it will stop the export of livestock by sea following a transition period of up to two years, citing animal welfare concerns for a decision that will affect major trading partners including Australia and China.
The ban was welcomed by animal welfare groups, but the peak farming industry body said it was caught by surprise and was unaware of any breaches of standards.
Live exports by sea represent about 0.2% of New Zealand’s primary sector exports revenue since 2015 has averaged around NZ$60 million ($42.32 million) per year from 2015 to 2019. New Zealand exported 113,285 cattle by sea last year.
