We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to demonstrate support for animal research. More details
Submitted by Martin Piper – Deadline to sign up by: 31 January 2008 – Signatures: 3,098
Animal research has enabled scientists to find treatments for cancer, vaccines and antibiotics. This does not advocate using animals unnecessarily but animal research is required because sometimes there are no other viable alternatives. In addition it is unrealistic to force animal research to stop by a certain date since nobody can predict future scientific progress in finding other methods that produce accurate results compared with those from animal research. It is for these reasons this petition calls for continued support for animal research.
