The following letter was sent to Church leaders whilst Animal Aid
members were encouraged to submit it to local church representatives
with a special campaign leaflet: Dear.... Many people are becoming increasingly concerned about the appalling
treatment of animals in laboratories in Britain today. Every year over
500,000 animals are poisoned to death in the infamous LD50 test to try
and assess the toxic properties of new cosmetics, hair colouring agents,
weed killers, fly-sprays, oven-sprays, paints, drugs etc. Apart from the
fact that these tests are exceedingly cruel, scientists themselves are
questioning the validity of the results obtained. We are therefore writing to request a meeting with you to discuss the
church's attitude regarding these issues and whether some formal
protests could be made to governments and companies concerned, asking
that funds should be made available to help research into humane,
non-animal alternative tests. We feel that the church has a role to play
in bringing it to the attention of the parties concerned that animals
are God's creatures and not just laboratory tools. We look forward to a reply at your earliest convenience, Yours Sincerely,
(No follow-up report) With thanks to Animal Aid: www.animalaid.org.uk |
