Lawyers 1, Government 0

It was great to read a story on stuff yesterday that 20 top Auckland lawyers are going to work for the SPCA on a pro bono basis. Good on them for doing the right thing.

In saying that, it is a sad state of affairs when a group of lawyers have to offer their services for free to make sure animals in New Zealand get the justice they deserve.

It should be the New Zealand Government not only paying for  lawyers but also providing an animal welfare agency to protect animals. Instead they show they really don’t give a toss by allowing a charity to do what they should be doing – protecting the animals of New Zealand.
