Mass chicken deaths: MPI won t prosecute Wed, 28 Jul 2021, 1:03PM
The Ministry for Primary Industries today told the Herald that after taking advice from the Crown Solicitor, it will not pursue prosecution after the broiler farm deaths.
An animal law expert said the decision was disappointing, and sent a signal that authorities would capitulate on prosecuting tough cases in the poultry sector.
The animals died at D B Chicks near Helensville in late November 2019.
