Winter, Mark 1958- :Ag research. 9 September 2013
Date: 2013
From: Winter, Mark, 1958- : Digital cartoons published in the Southland Times and other papers
By: Southland times (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0026098
Description: Three cartoons: in the first two an 'AgResearch' sign has been given Mickey Mouse ears and has a dead mouse at the top, while the first includes the words 'Mickey Mouse science' and the second 'Dickey Mouse science'. In the third a large cow contemplates a dead mouse labelled AgResearch and says "You dirty rat!" Refers to AgResearch's tests on Fonterra's milk powder. After one of five mice died in testing, the report said the batch was likely to contain botulism-causing bacteria - prompting Fonterra to withdraw the products. The mistake is reported to have cost $15 million in damage to milk formula exporters. Source: ODT 7 September. The reference to Mickey Mouse suggests the inadequate procedures in place. Three versions of this cartoon are available Quantity: 3 digital cartoon(s).
