World Day for Animals in Laboratories

World Day for Laboratory Animals is a United Nations recognized day of international commemoration of the suffering and killing of millions of innocent sentient beings in laboratories throughout the world.

In the UK a march & rally will be held in Birmingham on Saturday 29th April

Campaigning organisations in the UK and across the globe, will mark World Day for Laboratory Animals, a time to reflect upon the pain and suffering caused to millions of animals all in the name of a fraudulent scientific practice – a practice that is not only is so cruel to the animals so horribly abused and killed by vivisectors but a practice that so cruelly gives false hope to those with illness and disease.

Anti-Vivisection Demo – University Of Bath

Anti-Vivisection Demo outside The University of Bath to coincide with the University’s Open Day.

Between January 2011 and January 2012, 7482 animals were used in experiments at the University of Bath. These animals include Mice, Rats, Fish and Toads. This is continuing to happen year on year. Although these experiments were described as ”mild” (!!), they are unnecessary. Animals are NOT here to be used for our benefit (or lack of).

You can read UOB Research policy and one of the many papers detailing experiments on rats.

Note the University of Bath, BA2 7AY is to be confused with Bath Spa University, a completely different establishment!
