The Beagle Welfare Scheme – Petition Plea
The Beagle Welfare Scheme are campaigning to eliminate the use of Beagles in experimentation for scientific purposes. They are working with the Kennel Club and a parliamentary group headed by Zac Goldsmith MP to bring to the fore this abhorrant practice.
The Government are looking to abolish animal experimentation for domestic and household products in the UK by the end of the year. However the bigger aspect of scientific research is going to be a much bigger nut to crack.
An online petition has been instigated which requires 100,000 signatures to become eligible for questions to be tabled in Parliament to address this matter. At the moment the petition only has just over 2,500 signatures, if you feel strongly please add your name to the petition.
A group of professionals & parents against the use of animal testing have set up the group ‘Safer Medicines for our Children’. They are campaigning for the modernisation of medical research methods to benefit human health. They have two further petitions which you can find here.
Please share this plea to enable the petitions to get maximum coverage.
