The use of animals in laboratory testing is controversial because it involves exposing animals to experiments that can cause pain, suffering, or death. Supporters argue it is necessary for scientific progress and medical safety, while opponents highlight the ethical implications and advocate for alternative testing methods that do not involve animals.

Animals feel fear and they feel pain. They have as much right to be on this earth as humans - and like all humans they should be treated with kindness and compassion. It is therefore only correct that if we must slaughter them that it is done in the most humane way possible (if such a thing exists). We must ban non-stun slaughter. (It is possible at the same time to care about humans too.)
I have signed this petition and made a small donation. There is NO place for non-stun slaughter in the UK. We are civilised and respectful nation and we must unite to ban this barbaric religious practise. It is totally unnecessary, so religious groups who believe animals destined for the food chain aren't worthy of additional kindness and welfare, need to take a good look at their attitude towards other living beings. British citizens cannot stand by and allow such cruelty to continue. Please stand with us and sign, even if you cannot afford a donation.
No animal should have to face the fear and pain of non stun slaughter I haven’t eaten meat for forty years but realise everyone does not want to do this but slaughter should be done ethically
I am a farmer and strongly believe in humane ways of killing an animal for food, non stun and/or just slitting the animals throat to bleed out is horrific.
It disgusts me knowing that this practice is allowed to continue in 2025. Animals that are slaughtered by having their throat cut is inhumane and barbaric. To continue doing this disgusting practice takes us backwards to the Stone Age and not forward to a more humane, humble society where we can all be at peace when animals are giving up their lives for us humans to live. We cannot enter God’s Kingdom if we are cruel to his animals. We must all live as one and stand by the decisions we make, with dignity, not despair but a desire to live in peace in God’s kingdom.
There is no such thing as a humane way of killing an animal that doesn't want to die. You are taking its life for a meal. You can always eat something else. The animal has only one life.
I have seen often the lack of hay for Guinea Pigs 'waiting' to be sold at Lancaster Pets At Home. Hay is the main dietary necessity for these animals. Around 2-3 yrs ago, Lancaster had no small animals on show to sell. The main Pets At Home 'storage' building where Lancaster re-stock from had flooded I was told by a girl working there and many small animals drowned so we don't have any here at present. I was horrified.
My 8 year old sister once bought a hamster from pets at home which they claimed was a boy. 4 days later he gave birth to lots of babies. Ate them, then died a day later. Traumatised my sister. Any time I've seen other animals, they are always stressed. Even seen dead budgies on the floor with no staff bothering to take them from the cage
I didn’t realise that piggies at pets at home got sick and ended up in rescues but something that I’ve complained about before is the size of the cages sold for Hamsters & Guinea pigs.
People will buy these animals without researching how to care for them and will assume the cage sold must be the right size. It’s so cruel.
Whenever I have been in a pets at home, I have seen that the animals have adequate hay and food but I expect that depends on whether you have animal lovers working there - people clearly aren’t trained properly or there wouldn’t be so many stories in the comments of dirty bowls and no hay.
I wholeheartedly agree with this petition, they need to stop selling live animals.
