1pm Saturday 23 August, Clock Tower in the Square, Palmerston North

Free 'doggy' bags to the first 50 people! The Walk will continue to the Theosophical Hall (304 Church St) where speeches and a short film screening will be held.

Over 1700 cats and dogs were used for research experiments in New Zealand last year. Laboratory animals will never experience a loving family home. Did you know the Manawatu has become home for the largest companion animal breeding and research facility in the southern hemisphere?

Come join the Walk for the Animals and support calls to prevent cats and dogs from being used in New Zealand laboratories. Walk is on rain or shine! Sorry, dogs are not allowed in the central city, but dog costumes welcome!

Make a sign! Dress up! Get your face painted!
