Banks - No to synthetic drug testing on animals anywhere

Banks - No to synthetic drug testing on animals here or overseas


Act MP John Banks told TVNZ’s Q+A programme he won’t support legislation that allows synthetic drugs to be tested on animals here or overseas.
“And I say to the Prime Minister this morning, I won’t be supporting this legislation unless it implicitly says in the legislation none of these products will be tested on animals, in any country where the test is taken. If it can't be proven that they're not tested on animals, don’t try and line up to have them marketed.”
