Animal Aid calls for unified response to cruel laboratory testing

-

SIR,

Wednesday, April 24, is World Day for Animals in Laboratori­es.

On this day every year, people bear witness to the suffering of animals in laboratori­es.

The ways these animals are harmed and killed is horrific and the suffering is on a huge scale. For instance, 2.7 million animals were used in experiment­s in Britain in 2022. Most of these animals will have been killed afterwards some would even be used in further experiment­s.

To mark this important day, Animal Aid local campaigner­s and many of our compassion­ate supporters are taking to the streets to raise awareness of animal experiment­s and why they should be consigned to history.

Please look out for activists in your local area and talk to them about this important subject. We’re asking people to contact their politician­s to urge them to support better science and an end to animal experiment­sm or add your voice to ours: www.animalaid.org.uk/EndAnimalT­ests. Sincerely,

Jessamy Korotoga,

Tonbridge, England.
