Petition Petition to stop breeding dogs for testing, in British puppy farms

The UK government have just approved a new puppy farm in Grimston, near Hull, where puppies will be specifically bred for animal testing. A facility already exists in Harlan, Cambridgeshire, where approximately 3,000 Beagles are bred every year, to be cut open and experimented on, while still alive.

More details

This is completely unnecessary, there are a number of different methods for testing, that mimic the human body much more accurately. The following articles give examples of this:
