There is no hope for animals bred for animal testing and currently in animal testing facilities. They are destined to an unnatural, painful life. They receive no compassion, no affection and no comfort after painful, distressing procedures. That experience will continue until they die alone and unloved or are put out of their misery.

The hopelessness of the animals imprisoned in labs and universities currently can only be matched by the hopelessness of humans waiting for cures for diseases that will never come until we use human relevant science. We all know someone who has died of a disease that should be curable after all the decades of research!

Over 92% of drugs that pass animal tests go on to fail human trials.

The life sciences sector is a massive and very lucrative sector for everyone involved in it, at the expense of both animals and humans. Potential cures and effective treatments are missed due to the misleading results of experiments on animals.

Direct action reminds the industry and its vile workers that we are watching but it won’t end it. We must dismantle the life sciences sector from within to end it once and for all and that means supporting the 3Rs.

The New Approach Methods (NAMs) are available; organ on a chip, in vitro and in silico use human biology based technology instead of animals. The results are reliable, unlike animal experiments. Despite the alternatives having a higher success rate, being available and ethical, vivisection is a profitable industry that those who have built their livelihoods and reputations on do not want to come to an end. Dr Pandora Pound explains this in more depth in her book, Rat Trap: The Capture of Medicine by Animal Research – and how to Break Free.

A bit About Me

I’ve felt compelled to advocate for animals from the age of about six, accompanying my mum and her friend on educational/outreach stalls that they organised in Luton town centre. I helped hand out leaflets about the failings of animal experiments and listened to their conversations with the many people who stopped to engage. My mum worked for The Dr Hadwen Trust for Humane Research (Animal Free Research UK) for seven years and I was privileged to spend time with Dr Gill Langley and other respected animal advocates throughout my childhood.

I joined the World Day for Animals in Laboratories marches and took every opportunity to speak about animal experiments, submitting my GCSE Art project expressing the hopelessness and despair of animals suffering in labs.

Thank you for reading and all donations and shares are massively appreciated! I’ve lost count of the amount of times I've said that whatever I’m going through is nothing compared to what the animals imprisoned and tortured in UK labs and breeding facilities such as MBR go through 24/7.

PS Marathon training is hard af and running is making me catch every cold going so please donate to end this archaic paradigm for the animals and help a sis out. Tyly bye x
