However, all the latest research seems to be pointing towards the fact that testing on animals is actually unnecessary, so why should we continue to do it? Just because we did it in the past doesn't mean that we have to keep on doing it. I would much prefer to take a drug that has not been tested upon animals - at the moment, I do not have a choice.
well said x

everyone tho can join this virtual march against animal testing... End EU Animal Tests - Virtual March


Ricky Gervais's animal protest
Thursday, July 16, 2009
Ricky Gervais has joined an online virtual protest against animal testing.
The Office star has united with actress Joanna Lumley OBE and rockers Brian May CBE and Chrissie Hynde for the cyber Mave Animal Testing History campaign, which features virtual cartoon versions of themselves championing the cause at End EU Animal Tests - Virtual March.

Ricky said: "When I was asked if I'd like to back the campaign to Make Animal Testing History I said 'yes' immediately, as it is a cause that I am very, very passionate about
