New Zealand: Animal rights activists plan to demonstrate outside Manukau Sports Bowl in Auckland 13:00-14:00 June 9

Animal rights activists plan to protest outside Manukau Sports Bowl in Auckland, New Zealand, 13:00-14:00 June 9. Increased security likely.

Informational

Animal rights activists plan to gather at the intersection of Te Irirangi and Diorella drives outside the Manukau Sports Bowl during the Silver Collar Greyhound Race 13:00-14:00 June 9. The purpose of the action is to demand that authorities ban dog racing. Over a hundred people could join the rally.

Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence to the demonstration site to monitor the rally. The protest and any potential security measures may cause localized transport disruptions. Although violence is unlikely, isolated scuffles are possible if security forces attempt to forcibly disperse the gathering.

Avoid the protest as a precaution. In the event of violence, leave the area immediately for a secure, nongovernment building. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations; use alternative routes to circumvent march route. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
