Result:
Thankyou for signing our petition calling for a medical inquiry into animal testing. The movement calling for an inquiry is becoming stronger all the time, and more research scientists are calling for this.
MPs currently have access to EDM 475, which calls for an inquiry. If you live in the UK, please ask your MP to sign this EDM. You can find out who your MP is at http://www.writetothem.com/, and you can also write to them through this site. First please read the leaflet here: http://www.safermedicines.org/pdfs/leaflet_2010.pdf .
We also have a new petition here, so please sign:http://www.gopetition.com/petition/39625.html
Thanks for the support. We are under no illusions that this inquiry will be acheived easily, but when we acheive it, it will make history.

We, the undersigned, express our concern that the practice of testing medical drugs should still involve much-criticized animal methods.
The validity of data for humans is widely doubted, and many scientists feel animal methods should be immediately abandoned.
We urge the UK government to honour it's pre-election pledge to investigate the practice, and endorse the views expressed by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, 83% of General Practitioners, The Toxicology Working Group of the House of Lords Select Committee on Animals in Scientific and the hundreds of MPs from all major parties who support an inquiry.
We call upon the UK government to initiate a thorough, transparent independent inquiry without delay.
