Anchor Rainforest Killer - Fonterra's palm kernel problem

Today we shut down the main storage facility of Fonterra's supplier of palm kernel to protest this animal feed. Palm kernel imported into NZ has been linked to deforestation, human rights violations, and illegally operating palm plantations. And this blood-soaked animal feed is being fed to Fonterra dairy cows whose milk is in Anchor Butter.
Take action to end the use of palm kernel on all Fonterra farms across Aotearoa - sign the petition NOW: https://greenpeace.nz/end-fonterra-pke

Today we're taking action to stop Anchor Butter from using Fonterra dairy from cows fed on palm kernel linked to deforestation and human rights abuse in Southeast Asia.
While a team of Greenpeace activists have locked themselves inside the Agrifeeds storage shed to stop a shipload of palm kernal unloading, two orangutans have climbed onto the roof and deployed a 70m banner.

Mōrena Ngāmotu. We have #tooManyCows in Aotearoa. It's time to do something about it.

Last week we watched Milked along with the Greenpeace volunteers and team.
While the optimism around "milk without the cow" using precision fermentation didn't really eventuate, everything else in the film holds up remarkably well years later.
Here's the entire #documentary, if you'd like to watch it too.
TW for some dead cow gore around the 59' mark.
Awkward!
The Agrifeeds sustainability page seems to have gone missing after Greenpeace exposed them for including illegal palm kernel in their supply chain.
“This is the price of the dairy boom”
Selwyn residents confront council about nitrate contamination of their drinking water by the dairy industry.
This as the Luxon govt seeks to remove even the inadequate existing freshwater protections.
Good to see Fonterra signalling an acceleration of its move away from dirty gas and coal fossil fuels.
They have much bigger emission problems with methane and #TooManyCows, but this underlines how backwards Luxon's plan to find new gas is.

The pollution is so extensive it can be observed on Google Maps, with satellite images revealing substantial waste being discharged into coastal waters.

Stop making fun of older kids who still believe in Santa, there are grown men who still believe NZ’s intensive dairy industry has a future.
The Seven Stages of climate denial:
1. It's not real
2. It's not us
3. It's not that bad
4. We have time
5. It's too expensive to fix
6. Here's a fake solution
7. It's too late: you should have warned us earlier
NZ’s dairy industry uses all of them to avoid reform.
Mayor admits community anger over Waimate's drinking water ban due to nitrate contamination by the dairy industry.
They should be angry.
It’s a result of decades of failure by Govt to protect people from dairy pollution.

Fonterra's project farm boasting about emissions cuts is just a greenwashing marketing stunt.
It's still the same intensive industrial dairy model that requires synthetic nitrogen fertiliser and palm kernel to sustain #TooManyCows.
