What the petition asks

Because millions of animals are killed in experiment every year
{ [PETA UK] An animal dies in a European laboratory every three seconds. In scientific experiments, animals may legally be poisoned; deprived of food, water or sleep; subjected to skin or eye irritants; subjected to psychological distress; deliberately infected with diseases; subjected to brain damage; paralysed; surgically mutilated; irradiated; burned; gassed; force-fed; electrocuted; and killed. } Another 10 animals were killed in the 30 seconds it took you to read this.
