Stop The Otago Animal Lab - Short Documentary

Stop The Otago Animal Lab - Short Documentary

One of our fierce supporters made a short documentary about our campaign against the University of Otago's plans to build a new animal lab.

January 16, 2017

A short documentary was made by one of our supporters, Georgia Ryan to show the progress of our campaign so far.

Georgia is studying film at the Otago Polytechnic and she wanted to do an assignment that would also help a cause that she cares about!

Watch the short documentary below.

This is a very small snippet of what we have planned to Stop the Otago Animal Lab from being built. This year we will campaign harder than we ever have and we hope to have your support as we aim to abolish vivisection in NZ. Thank you, Georgia for all of your hard work!
