The animal rights group routinely searches through scientific research and reports for animal experiments conducted in New Zealand. “By exposing tests like this, we hope to shine a light on this well-hidden industry.”About 200 animals were used for the experiment and then killed. The second experiment was to test the secondary poisoning risk on dogs, cats and chickens, which might eat the carcasses of animals that have been poisoned by sodium nitrate. None of the dogs showed any obvious signs and were killed after the experiment, along with 10 feral cats and chickens.
