Please STOP Animal Research Labs from being built at the new St. Paul's Hospital!

The Issue

More than 3 million animals suffer and many die in Canada's taxpayer-funded research laboratories every year. This number could increase if St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver is allowed to build two new research towers. We the undersigned demand that only progressive, non-animal research facilities be included in their construction plans.

"The use of animals as surrogates for humans has been empirically proven to offer no predictive value for human response." - Dr. Ray Greek, President, AFMA
