Help stop animal testing in Portugal!!

Help stop animal testing in Portugal!!

Target:
Portugal's Assembly of the Republic
Sponsored by: 
In Azambuja, in Portugal, is about to be built one of the largest breeding centres of Europe for the creation of animals used in scientific experimentation.

Given the widely documented failure of animal testing, public funding of the "vivarium" is scandalous and represents a stagnation of scientific progress and squandering of money in infrastructure doomed to failure.

With this petition we want:

- to ban investment of public funds in the construction of commercial animal facilities;

- strategic direction to replace animals in research and testing through compulsory use of existing alternatives;

- to ban on the creation of experiments in animals;

- the prohibition to cause acute and prolonged suffering to animals used for experimental purposes;

- transparent systems of ethical evaluation and ethical review, application and authorisation, retrospective review and laboratory inspection reports;

- the obligation of all laboratories having an ethics committee, which includes at least one element of an association of animal rights;

- the construction of a 3R Center for Research of Alternative Methods in Portugal

Thank you so much for your time and support!

Na Azambuja, em Portugal, esta prestes a ser construido um dos maiores centros de reproducao da Europa para a criacao de animais utilizados na experimentacao cientifica.

Face ao amplamente documentado falhanco da experimentacao animal, o financiamento publico de um bioterio e escandaloso e representa uma estagnacao do progresso cientifico e desperdicio de dinheiro em infra-estruturas condenadas ao fracasso.

Com esta peticao queremos,

- A proibicao do investimento de fundos publicos na construcao de bioterios comerciais;

-orientacao estrategica para substituir os animais em pesquisas e testes com o uso obrigatorio de alternativas existentes,

- banir experiencias em animais;

- a proibicao de provocar sofrimento agudo e prolongado aos animais utilizados para fins experimentais;

- sistemas transparentes de avaliacao etica, aplicacao e autorizacao, revisao retrospectiva e relatorios de inspeccao de laboratorio;

- a obrigacao de todos os laboratorios possuirem um Comite de etica, que inclua pelo menos um elemento de uma associacao de direitos de animais, que verifique que a legislacao esta a ser cumprida;

- A construcao de um Centro 3R para Investigacao de Metodos Alternativos em Portugal.

Muito obrigado pelo seu apoio!

In Azambuja, in Portugal, is about to be built one of the largest breeding centers of Europe for the creation of animals used in scientific experimentation. The project, funded by the Portuguese and Community funds in the amount of 27 million euros, is sponsored by Champalimaud Foundation, in partnership with the University of Lisbon, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and supported by the Portuguese Government.

Given the widely documented failure of animal testing, public funding of the "vivarium" is scandalous and represents a stagnation of scientific progress and squandering of money in infrastructure doomed to failure.

To make Portugal an international example of scientific innovation and accreditation, the safe bet will be to develop new experimental alternatives rather than a business that promises to be ruinous both ethical and economically.

We call for a serious investment in science in Portugal:

- ban investment of public funds in the construction of commercial animal facilities;

- strategic direction to replace animals in research and testing through compulsory use of existing alternatives,

- ban on the creation of experiments in animals;

- the prohibition to cause acute and prolonged suffering to animals used for experimental purposes;

- ban using animals in experiments for military purposes, and teaching related to xenotransplantation, tobacco, alcohol or cleaning products;

- transparent systems of ethical evaluation and ethical review, application and authorisation, retrospective review and laboratory inspection reports;

- the obligation of all laboratories having an ethics committee, which includes at least one element of an association of animal rights;

- The construction of a 3R Center for Research of Alternative Methods in Portugal

please stop this inhumane painful disgusting torture on these little animals that have done nothing wrong except be born. Just like africian Americans were given rights for inhumane treatment please see fit to do the same for these poor little babies. I think we are all gods creatures and should all be treated with respect, love and cared for when need, look at the poor helpless little animals yes they have feeling and do feel we need to see that through and make sure this stops and no one torture these animals anymore. I wouldn't want this done to me and im sure neither would you. Please see it in your heart to stop this, whats next babies, whats is soo much different about them than animals they both can't speak or stop harmful people from hurting . Please stop.

I wish you all to get through the same pain sooner rather than later and may be you will have the decency to extract your selves from the generic notion of "Human beings" get back to your original place and recognize what you are "monsters".Let it be done to you...Let it be done.
