What we have achieved together and our next steps!
NZAVS is calling on the New Zealand Government to follow Australia's lead and invest in animal-free research.
Cats from a breeding unit were used in a research study using lasers to test pain relief.
Cats were fed different types of toxic bait and within 20-60min they began to vomit, had trouble walking and getting up, and/ or they became unconscious.
