Animal abuse is cruel. It's a reality that hits close to home, affecting not just the innocent lives subjected to unnecessary suffering but also our community's moral standing. Currently, St. Joseph's Hospital in London, ON, continues to use outdated methods involving animal testing for research purposes. This practice is not only inhumane but also misaligned with the modern innovative techniques available that do not require animals.

Many hospitals and research institutions worldwide have adopted non-animal testing methods due to their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ethical nature. Advanced alternatives such as in vitro testing, computerized patient-drug databases, and microdosing on humans have proven to yield accurate and reliable results without inflicting pain on living beings.

By perpetuating animal testing, St. Joseph's Hospital is not only causing undue suffering to animals but also falling behind in adopting contemporary scientific methods. The institution's continuous reliance on animal testing is disappointing to our community, which values compassion and ethical progress in medicine and science.

We urge you to join us in taking a stand against this outdated practice. By choosing not to donate to St. Joseph's Hospital and expressing your concerns through emails to sjhcfoundation@sjhc.london.on.ca, you can voice your disapproval and push for a transformation in their research methods.

Sign this petition and help persuade St. Joseph's Hospital to stop animal testing and lead by example towards more humane and innovative medical research practices. Your support can make a significant difference in promoting cruelty-free science.
