Default Urgent Action Needed to help Millions of Laboratory Animals

Tony

TO: All People Who Care

A new European Chemical Testing Policy called
REACH has now been finalised by the European
Union. Under these proposals Chemicals of every
imaginable kind - from those used in industrial
processes to the ingredients of consumer products
- will be tested on Millions of animals from mice to
fish to dogs, causing untold suffering.

If you believe that REACH should make more use
of Alternative Testing to test its Chemicals then
please take action now.

If you are a European citizen please contact your
local papers and own MEP asking them to promote
the development of humane non-animal test
methods under the REACH legislation, which is the
best hope we have for sparing animals the misery
of a testing laboratory.

A sample letter can be found at the BUAV (British
Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) website at
www.BUAV.org (Select Campaigns, Chemical
Testing, Get Active then Writing to the local press).

For all Non-European members, you can still help.
Please tell all your colleagues and friends in the UK
and Europe about REACH. Everyone can help and
you can make a difference.

Thank You
