Rejected petition ATNM Animal Testing No More
More details
Here are some points as to why I believe animal testing to be outrageous:
Animal experiments can be misleading. An animal's response to a drug can be different to a human's
Successful alternatives include test tube studies on human tissue cultures, statistics and computer models
The stress that animals endure in labs can affect experiments, making the results meaningless
Animals are still used to test items like cleaning products, which benefit mankind less than medicines or surgery
Animals have as much right to life as human beings
Strict controls have not prevented researchers from abusing animals
Deaths through research are absolutely unnecessary and are morally no different from murder
When locked up they suffer tremendous stress. Can we know they don't feel pain?
Hopefully you agree that animal testing for cosmetics and science should be absolutely forbidden.
Thank you for your support.
