Rejected petition Legislate against intimidation of organisations & individuals doing their lawful activities (like vivisection R&D, abortion, websites, etc)

More details

Anti-vivisectionists & others that terrorise, harass others & commit other crimes should be kept under surveillance (by email, phone, website, CCTV, in person, etc) by police, MI5/GCHQ & prosecuted if necessary. Animal experimentation is as essential as breeding animals for food & harvesting the by-products (like leather) of their slaughter; enabling UK to be in the frontiers of bioscience R&D. One of main principles of pharmacology is that drugs can be agonists (enhancers) or antagonists (inhibitors). In pharmacological R&D for new drug agonists or antagonist of specific biochemical metabolic pathways & processes, SUITABLE animal models (like primates for Alzheimer’s Disease research) are required. Drugs attached (in lock & key fashion) to biological substrates (in cell receptors in membranes, DNA, enzymes, precursor macromolecules, etc) can switch on or off certain biochemical pathways of APPROPRIATE species concerned hence providing the desired chemotherapeutic interventions.
