Stop Liverpool from killing millions of animals!
They kill animals for pointless exsperments, if a teenaged person killed a dog they would be arrested. Please stand up for thease animals from being to put a misabble death.

Every year millions of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed in crude chemical tests being forced to inhale chemicals that are bad to the body.



Animal testing costs the American public over $136 billion annually.





Drugs that pass animal tests end up harming or killing humans about 61% of the time.





Between 25 and 50 billion animals are meaninglessly killed in laboratories each year.





50% of the animals used for cosmetic testing, 50% die two to three weeks after being tested.





Animal tests aren't reliable. People and animals are different and that's why a medicine or cosmetic ingredient that is safe on animals may not be it on people or vise-versa. For example aspirin is toxic to rats and mice but not to people

Many animals are used in scientific and medical research. They often undergo cruel methods of testing and suffer greatly as a result. Animal experimentation is both cruel and unnecessary and humans have no right to put innocent animals through such torture. Scientists often don't benefit from testing on animals as they are so different from us and react differently to drugs. Results obtained from experimenting on animals are unreliable.

There are numerous cases that highlight the absurdity of assuming that humans and animals have a biology sufficiently similar for experimentation to yield useful results. For example: morphine calms humans but excites cats, cortisone causes birth defects in mice but not in humans, penicillin kills guiniea pigs and hamsters and aspirin poisons cats. If the results of tests on animals had been relied upon we would not have penicillin or digitalis (a drug used by heart patients but which was withheld for a long time because it was found to raise the blood pressure of dogs). We would also be without chloroform (once a common anaesthetic but not used initially because it was toxic to dogs) and aspirin (which causes foetal deformities in rats and is toxic to certain animals). Certain steroids, adrenaline, insulin and some antibiotics are also toxic to many animals but medically beneficial to humans.

Another example of how animals can't be relied on to yield reliable results is the case of rats being used for cancer research. On 25th February 1993, it was reported in the age that using rats for cancer research may be pointless. The gene repair systems of rats, it has been found, makes them unusually susceptible to cancer and while it was once thought that their responses parallelled our own, it now appears that there are significant differences in 'the way humans and rodents repair genes damaged by chemicals, radiation, or other agents that mutate DNA.' (Age, 25th February 1993).



How do we stop the use of animals in medical, scientific and cosmetic-related research? Boycott the companies that test on animals (buy products which don't test on animals) and/or write to your local paper about the issue. Or write to your local member of parliament and suggest that animal experimentation should be made illegal!! Also, many of the companies that test on animals have e-mail addresses. Write to them!

In this day and age there are fantastic alternatives to using animals that are more reliable and cheaper and not at all cruel. So please change and not put anymore animals through horrific and unnecessary procedures.

This is absolutely wrong! Animall testing is an unnecessary torture, nowadays!

There are so many alternative methods for doing medical and scientific research!
