'Change the law to include laboratory animals in the Animal Welfare Act’

Laboratory dogs, and other lab animals, are currently excluded from the Animal Welfare Act, and the protection of its 'unnecessary suffering clause'.

Peter Egan's new Parliament petition cites the widely reported failure of animal experiments, in the search for human treatments and cures, and makes the case for laboratory animals to be included in the Animal Welfare Act, to stop their unnecessary suffering.

The petition supports MPs who are signing Parliamentary EDM 175, for a rigorous public scientific hearing on animal testing - judged by independent experts from the relevant science fields - to ban this cruelty, which is funded by now proven false claims about human medicine.
