Our children's book the Six-Foot Rats will be gifted to over half the primary schools in New Zealand — all thanks to LUSH cosmetics!

The Six-Foot Rats is a story based on the life of the NZAVS ex-lab rats, Archie and Monty, and is written and illustrated by Christchurch-based artist Rebecca Gibbs.

LUSH is helping us ensure our crucial message reaches more Kiwis by naming NZAVS as the recipient of their Charity Pot initiative!

Thanks to the generosity of LUSH cosmetics and their belief in the work that we do, NZAVS will be able to gift the Six-Foot Rats to over half the primary school libraries in Aotearoa.

NZAVS and Rebecca Gibbs are so thankful to LUSH for helping us make the Kiwis of tomorrow aware of the scientific invalidity of animal-based experimentation.

UPDATE: 27/02/18 The Charity Pots with NZAVS on the lids are now being sold at LUSH stores around New Zealand. Make sure you go to your local store and buy one of these delicious tubs of hand and body lotion!
