Take the government to court for speciesism

Take the government to court for speciesism

The Issue

Definition of SPECIESISM
1
: prejudice or discrimination based on species; especially: discrimination against animals
2
: the assumption of human superiority on which speciesism is based

The UK government have recently awarded millions of pounds of tax payers money to vivisection (the 'right' to experiment on live animals for cosmetics and science) aswell as passing a law allowing lost and stray family pets to be taken and used for experiments. The attitude towards animals needs to change, speciesism is no less important then racism, sexism or ageism, all of which are illegal. We want to see change and make speiciesism illegal to and change the way animals are regarded by humans.
