“When SAFE approached us about the amount of animal abuse that falls through the cracks, we were incredibly keen to be involved,” says Augusto Commercial Director, Amy Dufty. “New Zealanders are in the habit of calling out human abuse as it occurs, but don’t seem to do the same for animals.”
That’s why SAFE and Augusto are posing the question ‘if it were your workmate, would you call it out?’, triggering New Zealand farmers and workers to reconsider what they’d do if one of their workmates were the victim.
Says Debra Ashton at SAFE: “as part of our commitment to protecting animals, SAFE has introduced our ‘0800 EXPOSE’ phone line to get more people in the agriculture industry and community to speak up and report any form of abuse that they might encounter. We needed a campaign to get the message out and Augusto has helped deliver a powerful message.”
Says Adam Thompson, ECD of Augusto: “we decided not to use horrifying images of animals that many animal charities have relied on in the past. But we still needed to grab people’s attention and raise some big awareness for the phone line. Our simple idea was to show the abuse in a different way.”
The campaign is running across New Zealand in print, social, digital and radio.
