Animal experiments kill animals and people !

 

Help us to end this lethal practice !

 

 

 

Every day, inside British laboratories, thousands of animals are poisoned and

killed in painful experiments. For more than a hundred years, people have

campaigned against these experiments, but they still continue. Why? Because of

huge resistance to changing long-established traditions and because massive

financial interests are at stake for the world`s most profitable industry: the

pharmaceutical industry ~ which enjoys powerful support from the highest levels

of government. Shamelessly evoking our greatest fears, they assert that animal

experiments save human lives and must continue.

 

But the time for change has arrived! The weight of evidence we have gathered

is indisputable: not only do animals suffer pain and distress in experiments,

but they differ in crucial ways in their reactions to drugs and disease.

Applying knowledge from animals to humans is harming and killing huge numbers of

people. Thanks to recent scientific developments, we can now explain why this is

so ~ and offer a positive vision for 21st century medical research ~ freed from

the shackles of 19th century animal experimentation.

 

Europeans for Medical Advancement has the evidence and the expertise to

demonstrate that animal experiments are one of the biggest obstacles to medical

progress today. Ending animal experimentation will truly benefit people, as well

as animals. As an independent group of medical professionals and scientists, we

are uniquely placed to convey this positive message ~ and politicians are

listening!

 

 

 

Taking our message to politicians, scientists and the media.

 

 

 

We are a new organisation, but already we have:

 

 

 

Provided scientific evidence at the recent enquiry into Cambridge University`s

proposed primate laboratory, which persuaded the government inspector to

recommend that the centre should not be built.

 

 

 

Addressed a cross-party meeting of MPs at the House of Commons to explain why

animal experimentation is not good science.

 

 

 

Given evidence to the Science and Technology Committee regarding the new EU

chemicals policy.

 

 

 

Addressed recent Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green Party conferences.

 

 

 

 

 

Had a major article published in the Guardian on the futility of brain research

on monkeys, as well as many letters in the Times, Telegraph, other national

newspapers and scientific journals.

 

 

 

Met with influential pharmaceutical industry leaders and given many talks and

debates (with Professor Colin Blakemore and others) to radio, TV, universities,

medical schools and the public.

 

 

 

Published three books revealing the human cost of experimenting on animals.

 

 

Please help us build on these early successes

 

 

These are real successes ~ and we will achieve much more if you give us the

support that we need. With your money, we will continue to produce reports and

educate young people. We will explain to MPs and policy-makers that animal

experimentation is unscientific and dangerous. We will engage pro-vivisection

scientists in more public debates and challenge the pro-vivisection assumptions

in the media. We will recruit more doctors and scientists to our board, have a

presence at scientific conferences, and persuade industry that it is in their

own financial best interest to abandon outdated and ineffective animal-based

research.

 

 

Please give your support today

 

 

We have started this work already, but there is so much more to do and we need

your help. Whatever donation you are able to make, no matter how big or small,

will help us make real changes that will benefit patients waiting for treatments

as well as animals in laboratories.

 

 

 

With your support, EFMA can bring forward the day when vivisection is ended.

“Europeans for Medical Advancement are successfully challenging the notion that

animals have to be used in experiments in order to provide medical advances.

They are taking us where we want to go ~ to a future where both people and

animals benefit from superior medical research.”
