Description[?]:
| We feel that animals shoud not be used to test any drugs, most drugs and chemicals have been tested already and the vaste majority of tests do not show any benifits towards humans, in fact clinical trials of new drugs have normally thrown up problems which were not caught in animal testing. We feel that clinical trials and tests are a better way to test new drugs, we have the computing power and the science to test the vast majority of chemicals and drugs without harming animals. |
