Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

The government have just given the go ahead for a puppy farm in Hull to supply animals to laboratories for testing. This is morally wrong and has no benefit to humans and only perpetuates animal cruelty in the name of 'science'.
Why the British Medical Journal highlights the fact that animal experiments don't work for humans.

Listen to this insightful radio interview with Dr R. Greek, leading authority against using animals as surrogate humans in medical research. Dr Greek explains how the false animal experimentation industry still maintain their grip, and holding a position which is "pre-scientific" and proven to be invalid.
