Recently leave the Westminster station to attend Parliament, I and Hungeds of others, they faced a heartbreaking people for the ethical treatment of the advertising fence (PETA) with a sad Beagle, defeated, trapped, trapped and trapped. The image is disturbing, but what it shows is routine.
In 2023, animals were used in more than 2.68 million scientific procedures in Great Britain. The Beagles, such as the Peta’s announcement, are commonly used because, nature, but fish, mice, rabbits, horses, chickens and more are victims of an industry that confines, attacks invasively and finally kills.
In laboratories, animals are commonly maintained in scattered cages until their turn appears to be used, at which time they can be fueled chemicals, be infected with weakening viruses or make their skulls can be in electrododes. Animals used in the investigation can also be deliberately paralyzed, exhibited through traumas, deprived of sleep and food, and subject to a myriad or other grotesque practices. Many false thesis procedures, and those that are almost always killed at the end, consult the collateral damage of what is mere curiosity.
The abuse of animals in the name of science long leg failed in a “necessary evil”, with the public and the parliament that sells the myth that the life of animals is simply “the price we pay” for the scientific advance, healing the science of science, and precision animals are stopping us. Most of the so -called “highly promising” basic “discoveries are based on animal studies, but less than 10% of these results in clinical therapies in 20 years.

Developing a new drug is a legal and expensive process, or that takes 10 to 15 years. Duration this time, the fault rate exceeds 95 percent, and the cost can exceed the £ 1 billion. These figures highlight important problems with the current drug development paradigm, with tests in animals identified as one of the main factors contributed to these inefficiencies. Animal experimentation is wasting taxpayers’ funds and potentially delaying access to very necessary therapies, especially given the growing collection of non -animal human and advanced methods.
Now it is a full year since the Labor Party launched its committed manifesto to work to eliminate the elimination of animals and “associate with scientists, industry and civil society” to achieve this goal. Since then, Peta has asked the Government to implement the research modernization agreement (RMD), a clear 6 -step strategy to put an end to cruel, unusual and unreliable experiments on animals and adopt not animal scientists who save time and money. From computer modeling to chips, solutions abound; Leaders only have to use the incredible technologies that we already have and finance research to develop and expand the range of human research and evaluation tools.
Animals are sensitive individuals with thoughts, emotions and, if allowed, rich family ties and social life. They are not centrifuging or glasses, or objects or subjects. When we exploit them for experiments, we leave a series of suffering and death following inaccurate results that only serve to delay scientific progress. Peta’s research modernization agreement is not simply a hopeful plea for animals; It is a robust plan created by scientists designed to move the United Kingdom away from defective science.
We must all urge the government to maintain their promise and adopt the investigation modernization agreement. Only when it does our leading nation of beer beer scientists who help not only beagles, such as the new Peta billboard, but all animals exploited in laboratories, and humans whose live live in a precise and relevant medical investigation.
