Down an inconspicuous driveway in Wallacia, behind a dog-protected property boundary on Park Road, is the secretive Australian National Baboon Colony (ANBC) – a location home to baboons bred for medical research.
However, the Animal Justice Party has raised questions about what is really going on at the end of that long driveway.
