Vivisection
Sir,—Your numerous correspondents (who have frequent publication) on the issue of human rights issues inevitably name sources of their information. I have just received the
latest issue of “Mobilise,” the New Zealand anti-vivisection newsletter. The front page shows a map portraying the location of Liechtenstein, which from January 1 has abolished vivisection on animals. Italy, Switzerland, Germany, the United States and Ireland are also involved in referendums to have vivisection abolished, not step by step, but totally. Your correspondents of human rights amass a tremendous amount of eye-witness material. Thanks to the effort of a North Island Animal Liberation Front, a photograph, is also published showing a living and fully conscious mouse induced with cancerous growths by a named researcher at a Wellington laboratory on September 24, 1987, proof that vivisection in New Zealand flourishes. Anti-vivisec-tionists in New Zealand are still adding more thousands of signatures to the petition for the total abolition of vivisection in New Zealand.—Yours, etc., NATALIE TAYLOR,
Christchurch co-ordinator, N.Z. Anti-vivisection Society. January 20, 1989.
