World Day for Laboratory Animals
24 April 1991
NZAVS March to Parliament

Deborah Garrett's speech

(Continued from previous page)

"...To test something on an animal and then apply the results to a person is ridiculous. It is illogical, and it does not work.

For example, in the last six months alone the following animal-tested drugs have been reported in the daily newspapers as dangerous to human beings:

Dominion Sunday Times 21 October 1990
Dangers of blood-pressure drugs exposed.

Dominion 31 October 1990
One hundred and eleven diet drug ingredients banned.

Dominion and Evening Post 3 November 1990
Pregnant women using the drug Neotagison advised to have abortions or risk giving birth to severely malformed babies.

Dominion 9 November 1990
Use of anabolic steroids turning people into 'agressive psychopaths'.

Dominion 15 November 1990
Spermicides causing infections in women.

Evening Post 27 December 1990
Evening Post 28 December 1990
Dominion 28 December 1990
Evening Post 7 January 1991

Cancer risk sunscreen and skincare products withdrawn from market.

Dominion 2 February 1991
The contraceptive Depo Provera causing cancer in women.

Dominion 18 March 1991
Report that one in 12 NZ babies at the age of eight months have previously unknown conditions or abnormalities.

These examples have all come to light in the last six months. They are all products of vivisection. They are all dangerous. And they prove that vivisection is scientific fraud.
