Let the controversy begin .....

OK - I've been trying to avoid this one because I know for a fact it will stir up many emotions in many people.

Medicine, charities and research. 

The pharmaceutical industry, Cancer Research UK, Age UK (merger of Age Concern, Research into Aging and Help the Aged), Animal Health Trust, British Heart Foundation, to name a few, ALL conduct or fund testing on animals.

Look out for my 2 posts -


Part 1:  The Evidence

Part 2:  The Verdict


Part 1 will be references to all the material I've researched for and against animal testing in the pharmaceutical industry and in the name of medicine.  I'll objectively summarise these to the best of my ability, but the references are there should you wish to read them.

Part 2 will be my own conclusion and why I've reached that verdict.  I would ask you to respect my decision and I'd welcome your own views (reasoned opinions please, name-calling will do nothing to support your views).


This will take a while .........
