Latest European statistics show experiments on animals up 3.2% |
All members of alt.atheism
Latest figures show Animal Testing is up overall by 3.2% to 12.1
million in 2005.(Dogs up 4.2%, Hamsters up 41%). This is despite
European Commission and member state's individual promises to reduce
and replace the use of animals in experiments.
The European Commission is currently reviewing Directive 86/609/EEC,
which sets out the rules for animal experimentation across the whole
of Europe. Now political pressure is needed to encourage EU
legislators to do everything they can to maximise non-animal
replacement efforts.
Contact your MEPs and urge them to increase funding for Alternative
Research as part of the revision process of Directive 86/609/EEC.
For contact details of your MEPs visit
http://www.europarl.europa.eu
It is in all our interest that Animal Testing is replaced with
Alternatives based on Human Biology not Animals.
For evidence that superior Alternative Research & Testing is replacing
Animal Testing visit

Everyone can help and you can make a difference.
Please tell your friends and colleagues about the revision of
Directive 86/609/EEC.
Thank You
