San Marino abolish all animal experimentation

[Guest guest]

The Republic of San Marino, an independent state within central Italy and a

member

of the United Nations and the Council of Europe, has become the first nation to

formally abolish animal experimentation.

Following a proposal made by the Italian anti-vivisectionist Dr Stefano Cagno,

Massimo Tettemanti and Marina Berati, supported by the San Marino Animal

Protection

Society, a motion to abolish all animal experiments was submitted to the 60

members

of the Great and General Council (the national parliament of San Marino) in

September

2007, and adopted by them by a large majority. It is therefore now forbidden by

law to experiment on animals in the Republic of San Marino.

they call themselves the oldest constituitional republic in the world, so i guess they have a progressive background!

Until just now, I had no idea that San Marino were a forward thinking country.... this is really good news. Once one country does this, it'll be much easier to encourage others to follow :-)BBPeter- "fraggle" <EBbrewpunx (AT) earthlink (DOT) net>"vegan chat" ; "vegan-network" <vegan-network >Friday, May 23, 2008 1:21 AM San Marino abolish all animal experimentation> The Republic of San Marino, an independent state within central Italy and > a member> of the United Nations and the Council of Europe, has become the first > nation to> formally abolish animal experimentation.> Following a proposal made by the Italian anti-vivisectionist Dr Stefano > Cagno,> Massimo Tettemanti and Marina Berati, supported by the San Marino Animal > Protection> Society, a motion to abolish all animal experiments was submitted to the > 60 members> of the Great and General Council (the national parliament of San Marino) > in September> 2007, and adopted by them by a large majority.
