TO: All People Who Care

 

I am a private individual posting this message to help

Laboratory Animals and us all. I apologize if this seems

out of place in this group but I think you need to know

this.

 

A new European Chemical Testing Policy called

REACH has now been finalised by the European

Union. Under these proposals Chemicals of every

kind - from those used in industrial processes to the

ingredients of consumer products - will be tested on

Millions of animals from mice to fish to dogs, causing

untold suffering.

 

Still worse, because of this reliance on outdated animal

techniques, reliable and relevant information will not be

provided and our safety will not be assured.

 

If you believe that REACH should make more use of

Alternative Testing to test 1000s of Chemicals that

have been in general use since before 1985 then

please take action now.

 

If you are a European citizen please contact your local

papers and own MEP asking them to promote the

development of humane non-animal testing methods

under the REACH legislation, which is the best hope

we have for sparing animals the misery of a testing

laboratory.

 

A sample letter can be found at the BUAV (British

Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) website at

www.BUAV.org (Select Campaigns, Chemical Testing,

Get Active then Writing to the local press).

 

For all Non-European members, you can still help.

Please tell all your colleagues and friends in the UK

and Europe about REACH. Write to your own local

papers to try and inform others about what is going

on in Europe.

 

The website for the European Parliament is

http://www.europarl.europa.eu.

Information on REACH, the New European Chemical

Testing Policy can be found here.

 

Everyone can help and you can make a difference.

 

Thank You
