New Zealand Vivisectors
We have often received request from students and others asking about vivisection in New Zealand.
Results from vivisection from around the world are used in New Zealand regulations controlling hazardous substances, pharmaceuticals and many other areas. The serious anti-vivisection focus is on eliminating the demand for vivisection in these areas.
Vivisection is also performed in New Zealand. However, if merely the performance of animal experiments was banned in New Zealand, then the experiments would simply take place elsewhere in the world - with their dangerous and misleading results still being used in New Zealand regulations; with resulting negative impacts on human health. While the number of animals used in New Zealand experiments seems high in absolute terms, it is an insignificant figure compared to the millions of animals being used in vivisection elsewhere in the world. In New Zealand, abolition requires both the elimination of vivisection performed in New Zealand and, more importantly, for the New Zealand regulations to specifically exclude the results from animal experiments to be used to determine the safety or efficacy for humans of substances or procedures.
The following is a list of "Organisations with an Approved Code of Ethical Conduct or with Notified Arrangements to Use an Approved Code" (or licenced to perform vivisection in New Zealand) according to the National Animal Ethics Advisory Committee as at 31 December 2007.
