Many animals safer, but not SAFE enough

The figures of animals used in testing and research in New Zealand are down. The Ministry for Primary Industries on Monday released the figures which showed in 2015 there was a 28 percent decrease from the previous year. However, in 2014, there was a 39 percent increase in the number of animals used in experiments, so this year’s decrease still means there are thousands more animals still suffering.

SAFE is an animal rights group that opposes animal testing in New Zealand. Their executive director Hans Kriek, spoke to 95bFM reporter Daniel Walker.
