National Anti Vivisection Campaign
Every year in New Zealand, over 300,000 animals are used in experiments and testing by universities, pesticide and chemical manufacturers and government research institutes. Species used include birds, cats, dogs, goats, guinea pigs, mice, horses, pigs, rabbits, rats and sheep.
These experiments involve mutilation, genetic modification, live dissection and deliberate infection with painful diseases. Animals are tortured with drugs, poisoned with toxic chemicals, tormented in psychological testing, and subjected to many other atrocities that so-called scientists have been able to develop.
Throughout its history, vivisection has been inherently cruel, inevitably wasteful, and perpetually invalid and unscientific. It’s time we put a stop to this barbaric industry.
The BioEthics Council is no longer taking submissions on xenotransplantation. Thank you to all our supporters who made submissions. Our info on Xenotransplantation is still available here.
