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: greenpeace.nz/end-fonterra-pke

InstagramGreenpeace Aotearoa on Instagram: "LIVE NOW: Greenpeace Aotearoa activists have occupied the storage facility of @fonterra.nz's biggest palm kernel supplier and locked themselves to pillars, stopping a ship from Indonesia carrying 30 thousand tonnes of palm kernel expeller from unloading. Meanwhile, another team of activists dressed as orangutans climbed onto the roof of the Agrifeeds facility and deployed a 500 square meter banner that reads ‘Anchor Rainforest Killer’. The Greenpeace activists are protesting against the use of palm kernel as cow feed on Fonterra farms due to the product’s links to illegal palm plantations and the deforestation of paradise rainforests in Southeast Asia. More to come! #savetheforests #climatecrisis #taranaki #fonterra"32 likes, 2 comments - greenpeacenz on April 5, 2025: "LIVE NOW: Greenpeace Aotearoa activists have occupied the storage facility of @fonterra.nz's biggest palm kernel supplier and locked themselves to pillars, stopping a ship from Indonesia carrying 30 thousand tonnes of palm kernel expeller from unloading.

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.

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.
