This group has been set up to promote companies that do not animal test, explain the reasons these tests are inhumane and unreliable and help people make more informed decisions about the products they buy and also the action they can take themselves to help animals and to make the world aware of the companies who treat animals cruelly.
Here are some quotes to support our cause:
"... animal experiments infringe the rights of animals and are never acceptable, even if they do benefit humankind." (biologydaily.com)
"The traditional LD50 (lethal dose 50%) test forces animals to ingest chemicals to determine the approximate dose that results in the death of half the test animals . Recently, the traditional LD50 test has come under scrutiny for its inhumane and unreliable results." (neavs.org)
"...chemical poisoning will result in painful sores, burns, internal bleeding, organ damage, cancerous tumors, muscle spasms, nausea, collapse, coma, and eventually death." (BUAV.org)
"The BUAV believes its undercover video footage provides clear evidence that Covance is breaking both German national animal welfare law and European Union legislation governing the housing and treatment of laboratory animals." (eceae.org)
