UK Animal Experiments Law: Don't Let Things Get Any Worse

Last year, the EU produced a new directive to regulate animal experiments – which means that the UK has to amend its own law, the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. PETA worked hard to get the best result for animals when the directive was going through the European Parliament, and as a result, some of the suffering that animals endure in laboratories in many EU countries, whose existing laws were poor, will certainly stop. However, while the directive is a minor improvement on the current UK law in a handful of ways, in many others it is actually worse.
