Visit the shop now Huge increase in animal experiments The Labour government has presided over yet another massive annual increase in animal experiments. Home Office licensed 'procedures' during 2008 totalled 3.7 million – a rise of 14 per cent on 2007. Despite a Europe-wide movement of politicians, scientists and the public calling for the phase out the use of monkeys, the official figures released in July show that British labs conducted 4598 primate experiments – 634 more than in 2007.

Many people choose 'humane meat' in an attempt to reduce animal suffering and ease their conscience. Our new factsheet What's wrong with high-welfare animal products? asks how much these schemes really benefit the animals.
