Ban the breeding for & use of Beagles in animal experimentation in the UK
We, the undersigned, urge the UK Government to ban the breeding for and use of Beagles for animal experimentation in the UK
Why is this important?
The use of animal experimentation is an outdated and barbaric method of testing.
It became popular during Victorian times.
But bizarrely these methods are still used today, even though there is undeniable evidence that these barbaric methods could easily be replaced.
On the16th of July 2015 it was announced that The Rt Hon Greg Clark, Secretary of State for the department for communities and local government has agreed the planning appeal for B&K Universal Ltd in Hull UK, to construct what amounts to a puppy farm.
A puppy farm that can hold 2000 beagles for use in Laboratories.
Scientific research in recent years has shown that alternative methods are available and able to produce more accurate and reliable results, without the need to inflict suffering on living animals.
In 2013 over 3440 Beagles were used in over 4523 procedures in the UK and thousands were bred specifically for this purpose.
