| Message | This Act seeks to impose not-too-stringent controls on animals, but to ensure that no unneccesary harm comes to them. However, we do believe that animal testing is a viable method of developing essential pharmaceuticals and medical techniques - do not consider us to value the life of an animal more than a human. |
