Stop Animal Testing

"The European Parliament has approved new legislation to "limit" the number of animals used in scientific studies within the European Union, in an effort to "improve" animal welfare without hindering important scientific research.
The legislation will come into force in two years, and will require national authorities in all EU member states to assess and approve the animal welfare implications of individual experiments, with aims of reduced pain levels.
Nationally run inspections will have to inspect at least 33% of animal-using laboratories within a year.
The use of certain animals and smaller primates such as marmosets and macaques was approved"
(4 million animals were tortured with experiments last year. NOTHING will "reduce" the levels of pain they recieve in these labs. No matter what diseases WE encounter, we DO NOT have the right to torture these animals for our benifit. This doesn't JUST go on in Ireland, it's all over the world, practically every country.
To whom it may concern,
We the undersigned were very angry to hear that the European Parliament has approved new legislation for the use of animals for scientific research. 4 million animals were experimented on last year, including cats, dogs, mice, rats, primates, etc. These animals are tortured every day and you feel no guilt what so ever?? We do not need to to do these horrible experiments. Animals are NOT ours to do with as we please. Ireland has a very bad reputation for Animal Welfare, you have a chance to change that. If you cannot see what you're doing is wrong, you have no soul.
