On this page, you can find the references for the studies we are exposing during our special 12 Days of Christmas Otago Exposed campaign.

Please remember that NZAVS is a non-violent organisation, and we seek to make change through peaceful methods. Non-violence to us isn’t just physical, it also includes avoiding verbal and psychological violence.

We do not wish to target any specific scientists in these experiments and discourage any of our supporters from targeting directly. We aren’t mad at the individual scientists conducting these experiments, they are unfortunately caught up in an archaic system which we are working hard to change.

We understand that hearing about cruel animal experiments will make you mad (we’re mad too!) but it’s important that we channel that energy in a positive and effective way.

What we need to continue to work with public opinion – animal experiments are becoming less and less acceptable in the eyes of the public. As the social license of animal experimentation is lost, it will become easier and easier to persuade universities and other organisations to take stronger action for animals.
