Closed Additional funding for Covid-19 vaccine trials without animal testing

Closed on

COVID-19 has panicked the world like nothing since WW2. It has tragically killed thousands of people, causing loss of business, education and money, as well as much anxiety for many. It had disrupted our lives. Tragically, animals also suffer, as scientists use them in research...

Many animals suffer and die as scientists use them in research, and these tests aren’t always useful.
Some in the US have skipped animal tests in order to speed up testing for a vaccine. If UK trials were to do this, a vaccine may come faster, saving more humans and sparing animals.
The Government are doing a lot for COVID-19. We commend this. Now, do more by increasing funding for humane research and stopping animal tests NOW!!!!
