We believe it is very important to educate young New Zealanders about animal testing. We want the next generation of researchers, doctors, veterinarians, nurses, and scientists to be well-informed about this important issue.
Our Campaign Manager Cressida Wilson visited Ao Tawhiti Unlimited in Christchurch this morning to talk with students about animal testing in NZ and the many innovative animal-free research methods that could be used instead.
Cressida also spoke to students about our Out of the Labs campaign and why we animals used or bred for science deserve to be rehabilitated and rehomed. Many of the students asked extremely insightful questions and showed wisdom beyond their years!
Ao Tawhiti Unlimited students got involved by helping us with our Paw Prints for Parliament event by decorating a paw print each.
NZAVS would like to thank Ao Tawhiti Unlimited School for having us, It was awesome getting to meet some young animal-lovers!
