In 2021, Aotearoa took a world-leading stance in banning live animal exports by sea, phasing out the practice this time last year. The proposed repeal signals a wider conversation around animal rights in Aotearoa, from political responsibility to public knowledge and transparent practice.

Animal testing is a cruel and inhumane practice that results in the suffering and death of hundreds of thousands of animals every year.But did you know that your KiwiSaver could be inadvertently supporting this practice?While New Zealand has banned animal testing for cosmetics, it is still common practice abroad.

In 2019, the University of Otago bred more than 67,000 animals that it then killed without using for any scientific purpose.That year, the university was responsible for half of all the animals killed in New Zealand that had been bred but not used for research, testing and teaching (RTT) purposes.University research and enterprise deputy vice-chancellor Richard Blaikie has defended the institution's record and has said it was working to reduce the number.New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society director Tara Jackson has called the university's care of animals "very sloppy" and "incredibly disappointing".Anti-Vivisection Society director Tara Jackson says it is frustrating that so little progress had been made in the welfare of animals being used for science. Photo / Supplied, FileYesterday, the Ministry for Primary Industries released the latest national figures for animals used in RTT. For the first time, MPI also released the number of animals bred for scientific purposes but killed without being used.They show 131 organisations, including seven universities, used a combined total of 315,574 animals for RTT in 2019.An additional 136,679 animals were killed after being bred for RTT but not used.In 2019, the university, which this week opened its new $50 million animal research facility in Dunedin, used 35,076 animals for scientific purposes across its Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington campuses.A further 67,641 animals were bred and killed without being used.Of the Otago animals used for RTT, 57 per cent were fish, 19 per cent were mice, 13 per cent were sheep and 7 per cent were rats.Animals euthanised by the university without being used were 44,308 mice, 11,149 fish, 10,992 rats, 1191 guinea pigs and one sheep.Otago is one of seven universities and 124 other organisations and companies included in the MPI animal use figures.Nationally, almost a third of all animals bred for RTT purposes were killed without being used. At Otago, the percentage was more than double that, 65.9 per cent.Otago accounted for 23 per cent (102,717) of all animals bred for RTT use in New Zealand and for half (67,641) of all animals bred for RTT but killed without being used.Blaikie, who oversees the university's research, said the need to study animals with specific genes accounted for a portion of the "not used" figure."If a scientist is studying a certain gene, it will not be present in all the offspring — the pups without the gene are not needed for the project."To mitigate this, we do targeted and on-demand breeding, to avoid unwanted and unwarranted production of offspring."We also must note that we do not have large-scale commercial suppliers of laboratory animals in New Zealand from which we can order our animals on demand."We need to hold and maintain our own breeding colonies, which contribute significantly to the number of animals we report under the new 'bred but not used for research category'."Jackson was disappointed with the national figures."It shows that ... no real progress has been made and as a result animals are continuing to suffer in labs in New Zealand."She described the university's figures as "a sad indicator of how careless researchers can be with animals' lives".

In times of division and discord like we’ve been experiencing, how do we come back together? How do we heal our communities and move forward into healthier ways of living together? How do we do justice and grow the economy? Opposing viewpoints and civil strife have always been with us, even in times of relative calm. Not all voices have been heard or represented and our communities reflect this. It’s easy to despair. But, working diligently, for over 50 years, Arizona Town Hall has sought to give all voices an equal chance to speak and contribute. AzTH has facilitated 100s of conversations in communities across our state, and included all the voices, so that we can work toward the kind of solutions that make things better for everyone. Our guest this week is Tara Jackson. Tara has served as president of Arizona Town Hall since July of 2006. Az town Hall exists to bring diverse and often opposing parties together to solve the most complex and challenging issues facing the state. Tara works with Arizona’s public universities, the media, elected leaders and other stakeholders to determine the best approach for addressing tough conversations.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Tara Jackson & Masini McDermott. In our conversation today both Tara Jackson & Masini McDermott share their experiences as black women in the Canadian theatre industry, how the theatre industry puts pressure on people of colour to not “cause a fuss” or be “difficult” in the hopes that they are hired again, as well as the importance of remembering that this isn’t a new conversation or issue but one that black people are faced with their entire lives. We also discuss their experiences dealing with everything going on in the world with regards to Black Lives Matter, how it is up to allies to speak up when they see injustice and how they can actually use their white privilege to create lasting change, as well as how they hope to see the theatre industry as a whole move towards equality in the future.

Universities have come under the microscope for their animal testing practices.There were calls for the 'swim test' -- that forces rats and mice to swim for their lives -- to be banned earlier this year.But months down the track, animal welfare groups say universities are still carrying out the questionable practice.New Zealand anti-vivisection society executive director Tara Jackson told Kate Hawkesby universities are passing the buck."They basically come back saying they have an animal ethics committee that approves the use of animals for procedures like this, and they have trust and faith in their groups in order to make the right decisions, but the approval of this test shows the exact opposite."The test --which is used to mimic human depression -- is based on the idea that a depressed animal gives up trying to escape a beaker full of water earlier than a less depressed animal.But Jackson says the test has no relevance whatsoever."They have no predictive value of human depression, so it should be discontinued on that basis alone. The test had no scientific basis, why are we using it."

The subject matter, of experimenting on animals that have no voice, gives cause to wonder what we are doing as a so-called civilisation. Where does mindfulness and a duty of care come into it? But more so - compassion? Especially here in NZ where most New Zealanders have a cat or dog or a pet of some kind. But, it's a harsh reality when animals are treated with a certain disdain when money power and profits are concerned. Just look into the eye of that forlorn guinea pig in this graphic. Tara is the CEO of the New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society (NZAVS) and having a degree in Zoology wants to do what she can to educate the public so as the animal kingdom is not exploited by both pain and money. On average over 300,000 animals are used in vivisection in New Zealand each year. These experiments are performed in universities, schools, polytechnics, commercial laboratories, government departments and ministries. The species used include hamsters, mice, rats, guinea-pigs, sheep, cattle, goats, birds, fish, alpaca, buffalo, cats, deer, dogs, donkeys, horses, pigs, and more. Farm animals are experimented on to make them grow faster, have more babies, use their food more efficiently, or to change the quality of their milk. Plus, there are cruel genetic modification and cloning experiments going on that we the public have really no idea what’s happening. From her studies of animals she says it is impossible to use one complex system to predict the outcomes of another complex system. Every animal species is different, That her strong passion for valid science and her obvious strong commitment for animal rights - combined together has pushed her into her current role, where she has in a little over 4 years embedded her ideals into NZAVS.org.nz Tara feels she wants to continue what Bet Everell did and work towards ending animal experiments in NZ. Betty Overell - was the person to really bring this issue to the public consciousness across New Zealand. When in 1989 she led a march to Parliament with a further Petition, signed by 100,640 New Zealanders demanding the abolition of all experiments on animals after obtaining affidavits from doctors all over the world who claim vivisection is medically and scientifically invalid. Bette Overell is recognised internationally for her work in the new abolitionist movement. http://www.whale.to/a/overell_b.html So how is NZ progressing with regard to animal welfare? A Brief History of Animal Welfare that influenced NZ Henry Stephens Salt 20 Sept 1851 – 19 April 1939 (born in India, to British parents) who when in England, formed the Humanitarian League in 1891. Its aims were to enforce the principle that it is iniquitous to inflict avoidable suffering on any sentient being. Its objectives included the banning of vivisection as well as hunting as a sport. It was Salt who first introduced Mohandas Gandhi to the influential works of Henry David Thoreau, and influenced Gandhi's study of vegetarianism. His views were reported widely, including in New Zealand. There was a compassionate, philosophical article in the NZ Herald on the 11th June 1890 by Jon Abbott of St Georges Bay Road, Parnell Auckland calling for a halt to the cruelty of Vivisection - yet his was truly a voice in the wilderness in those days. New Zealand Organisations Once it became clear that animal experiments were occurring in New Zealand at medical schools and agricultural research stations, anti-vivisectionists began to organise. The first anti-vivisection society had been set up in Auckland by 1930, and branches of the BUAV British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection were established in other centres by the 1940s. In 1944 the Council of Combined Animal Welfare Organisations (CAWO) was formed. This was a coalition of Theosophists, anti-vivisection leagues and the newly established Vegetarian Society, led by Theosophist Geoffrey Hodson. In its advocacy of animal welfare measures CAWO had much in common with the SPCA, but it had a no-compromise stance on vivisection. In New Zealand there was some interest in the cause, and vivisection was occasionally debated. A few groups including feminist organisations and many Theosophical Society members condemned it, but the SPCA members had a range of views from total opposition to reluctant acceptance. Gains and Losses CAWO was successful in campaigning for regulations governing humane slaughter, and the outlawing of the sports of hare coursing and captive pigeon shooting. However, its anti-vivisection aspirations were thwarted by the Animals Protection Act 1960 which, although it introduced many reforms, made animal experiments legal. This Interview Covers Where we are today in 2018 Vivisection Is Still Happening! Today there are now many different models for learning about dissections without going out and getting a lab rat to dissect and cut up. That there are sophisticated as well as simple anatomical models here today and Tara says that dissections could have been halted yesterday. Massey University Veterinary Department is seen as very progressive and up there as leaders - but Tara cautions by saying Massey in other areas still uses some highly invasive purposes, never-the-less. But the Veterinary Clinical Training Room for vets has high quality mannequins of all different species to use. Even giant horse mannequins that can mimic certain disorders so that students can pick up and learn from. They have fake dogs (robots) that mimic certain heart conditions that students can listen for also. But there is not yet enough of this across NZ. Testing Drugs On Animals In this interview we learn that using animal studies, like testing drugs on them does not give in any way a true measure that these said drugs will have a positive effect on a human. This is a proven fact. Animals and humans are vastly different and cannot be used for predicting human outcomes. There are study after studies proving that experimenting on animals have no relationship to how these drugs will react on humans. In 2006, the TGN1412 drug that was used, created the opposite effect in humans as it did in animals - and people were left with organ damage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theralizumab Thalidomide drugs were tested on animals with no side effects but caused tragic results in humans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide#Birth_defects_crisis Other incidents of humans illness resulting from drugs that have been ‘successfully’ tested on animals have been discretely silenced. There have been many adverse side effects to people, but these results are gagged by confidentiality clauses where big Pharma - closes the whole subject down. This in itself is criminal where vast amounts of money is used to quash any negative results silencing the whole concern - to not even cause a ripple throughout society. Otago University comes in for some bad vibes as not being conscious of animal rights or mindfulness - and are thus seen as dragging the chain in this regard. This is a result of blacking out all the windows of the animal lab on the 5th floor of the Hercus building in Dunedin, where on the top floor the animals are kept. Why blackout windows? - Animals need as much natural light as possible too. Often, activists have to use the Official Information Act to find out what is actually happening Tara says that it’s very difficult to get information especially as to what private companies are doing behind closed doors. Other Topics Covered: Support for stopping vivisection continues from within NZ with concerned public helping over long time periods, going back to the 1970’s and 80s. As this is seen as an ongoing important issue that many people contribute to - for their whole life. Cosmetics testing on animals - Is now banned in NZ But not the ban on importation of cosmetics that have been tested on animals Plus NZ has banned psychoactive substances being used on animals - There was a huge rally all over NZ along with HUHA support: https://huha.org.nz/ There has been a Ban on the - Draize test - https://www.neavs.org/research/what-is-the-draize-test - a cruel test done normally in rabbits where chemicals are poured into their open eyes and on the skin of rabbits - listen There has been a special children’s book written - called “The 6 Foot Rats" - presently in process to being sent to every school in NZ. https://www.nzavs.org.nz/the-six-foot-rats It’s an important and powerful educational tool disguised as a fun and colourful children's book, by local artist Rebecca Gibbs. Also mentioned in the interview - Anita Roddick - founder of the Body Shop. The Body Shop was the first global beauty brand to fight against animal testing in cosmetics and was the first company to be certified with the Leaping Bunny logo in 1997. China comes up as not focussing on animal experiments and cosmetics been sold into China. So China needs to be nudged into eliminating all types of experiments on animals. NZ.Lush.com - comes in for a warm ‘shout out’ as it does not sell its products into China. Tara states that they are very good people who donate to animal groups that work towards freeing up animals from experimentation. That today 100 million animals in the USA alone are being used in experiments Note that corporations who say they do not experiment on animals UNLESS required by law - means that they sell into China - that they are not walking their talk. Dr Ray Greek is a global champion for the cause. http://animalvoices.org/2017/07/drraygreek/ Why Animal Testing is Ineffective for Preventing and Curing Human Diseases. The New Biomed 21 group are a more humane health organisation who bring scientists and institutions from around the world to work towards more benevolent ways of researching and testing products for human health. http://biomed21.org/about-us/non-animal-models-research-human-respiratory-tract-disease/ Ricky Gervais - Comedian and well known world personality - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ri Is one of the more stronger advocates on the world stage who speaks out on behalf of animals. New Zealand Politics Mojo Mathers - Green - initiated the ban on animal testing for cosmetics in NZ Gareth Hughes - Green - is prepared to speak up on this issue too Jo Luxton - Labour - in the past rescued an ex lab rat The DARK SIDE Unwanted Chickens are killed by a conveyor belt - especially if males and don’t lay eggs. https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/chickens/7645698 Chooks still in cages today - a horror story laying eggs for unconscious buyers - the chickens are bred and designed to be trapped in their own bodies and then in tiny, tiny cages to live and lay eggs as part of one large computerised, factory, industrial system. With no sunlight, rain or wind, or soil beneath their feet Cows in NZ are expedient too. Whereas 60 years ago a cow would live to be 13 to 14 years of age - today they are basically exhausted at 4 and a half years old and so are sent to the freezing works. However, they are being experimented on too. - listen Vegan and Vegetarian choices - Tara is a vegan (and I myself, have not been a red meat eater or eaten poultry for 41 years.) Also mentioned is Geoffrey Hodson who spent his last years living in NZ, giving lectures and sharing his knowledge. Geoffrey Hodson. Was a clairvoyant who could see the dark 'thought forms’ above all freezing works or abattoirs across NZ - he realised clearly that animals had a soul or group consciousness. As a Theosophist in those days - he understood that animals were sentient beings and needed to be treated with respect. He was one of the few people on earth at the time who could see through the veils of the world into different, higher realms. http://www.geoffreyhodson.com/Assessment-&-Conclusion-2.html A very thought provoking interview from a strong and articulate advocate that needs to be shared across greater NZ and beyond. https://www.nzavs.org.nz
