GE Animal Horror Exposed

After 25 years of failed and secretive genetic engineering trials, every GE animal in New Zealand has been terminated. Hundreds of animals suffered through abortions, cancers, deformities and sterility — all for nothing.

A new GE Free NZ report reveals the shocking truth: evidence from 20 failed trials was hidden from MPs and officials when drafting the Gene Technology Bill. Lawmakers were told no such data existed. The reality of cruelty, scientific failure, and risks to New Zealand’s reputation was buried.

“We are appalled by the sheer cruelty to the animals involved in these genetically engineered experiments,” said Alison White of the Safe Food Campaign. “We are also very concerned that the Gene Technology Bill could unleash another wave of animal suffering with no ethical or animal welfare safeguards.”

“Consumers want ethical, compassionate treatment of animals — not gene-altered products,” continued Ms White. “Organic farming already provides healthy food, protects our animals and environment, and strengthens New Zealand’s reputation.”
