Closed Increase Funds for Non-Animal Research for Cancer

Closed on

Every year, more than 166,000 people die from cancer. These are usually innocent, ordinary, loving human beings who have families.

Meanwhile, 2.88 million experiments were performed on animals. There has to be better ways…

A lot of cancer research is nowadays done without animals, but animals still suffer and die. This isn’t about animals being more important than humans; this is about animals being at least almost as important as humans.

More human and animal lives could potentially be saved if more money was put towards non-animal research for cancer. More humans with cancer could at least be helped if more money was put towards support for them.
