This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Adequate surveillance (email, phone, website, CCTV, personal contacts etc) by police, MI5/GCHQ on those who terrorise those doing R&D on animal models
More details
Animal rights anti-vivisectionists that terrorise, intimate others & commit other crimes should be kept under surveillance & prosecuted if necessary. Animal experimentation is as essential as breeding animals for food & harvesting the by-products (like leather) of their slaughter & it would keep UK in the frontiers of bioscience R&D. In pharmacological R&D for new drug agonists (enhancers) or antagonist (inhibiters) of specific biochemical metabolic pathways & processes, SUITABLE animal models are required. Drugs attached (in lock & key fashion) to biological substrates (like to cell receptors in membranes, DNA, enzymes, precursor macromolecules) can switch on or off certain biochemical pathways of APPROPRIATE species concerned hence providing the desired chemotherapeutic intervention. Animals bred for specially for the sole purpose of experimentation or food are often kept in less cruel conditions than if those animals were living wild, fending a living for themselves.
