Review by Campaign Against Fraudulent Medical Research, (Australia), Winter 1993, page 11, of ANIMAL RESEARCH  T A K E S  LIVES - Humans and Animals BOTH Suffer:



"The book was produced by Bette Overell for her organisation, the New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society (NZAVS), of which she founded and has been President for 15 years.

Drawing on evidence of which the author says there is an abundance, ANIMAL RESEARCH  T A K E S  LIVES is Bette Overell's answer to Animal Research Saves Lives (hereafter referred to as ARSL), a booklet produced and distributed widely throughout New Zealand in 1990 by the N.Z. Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries and private organisations namely the Cancer Society of N.Z., the Agricultural Chemical and Animal Remedies Manufacturers' Association of N.Z., the N.Z. Heart Foundation and the Medical Research Council of N.Z..  These organisations and the N.Z. Government who are themselves deeply involved in fraudulent animal research produced ARSL in the vain hope of destroying the much threatening anti-vivisection movement in N.Z., which is spearheaded by NZAVS.

Over two years of exhaustive effort has gone into producing NZAVS' rebuttal to the blatant lies of ARSL, which results in a 368-page fully case bound book.  Appropriately titled ANIMAL RESEARCH  T A K E S  LIVES - Humans and Animals BOTH Suffer, the book with meticulously documented and sourced evidence refutes each and every one of ARSL's claims.  It also exposes facts that are rarely reported in New Zealand's industry-beholden media - such as the fast-growing world-wide movement of doctors opposing vivisection, the N.Z. Government sanctioned the testing of cancer-forming drugs on thousands of New Zealand women without their knowledge, and the enormous profits and academic advantages being made by the perpetrators of fraudulent animal research.

ANIMAL RESEARCH  T A K E S  LIVES is a major contribution towards abolishing vivisection and is the first of its kind to be produced in Australasia."
