Rejected petition Ban all animal testing

Ban all forms of animal testing. Currently 13% of animal testing carried out is required by regulators. Today we have enough historic research and data to make further testing obsolete. 32% of animals used are subjected to tests that even researchers say causes severe side affects and trauma.
