BUAV state using animals in experiments for medical purposes is deeply flawed and old fashioned and an impedient to real medical progress, such procedures are fundamentaly compromised by the phsyical differences between Human beings and other species of animal.



These are the findings of Dr Jarrod Bailey, Scientific Director, Europeans for Medical Progress.(MEP are NOT an animal rights organisation, they are an organisation based on HUMAN ethics & believe that animal experiments do not serve the best interests of the public & compromise Human safety!)........

He said that claims about the effectiveness of animal experiments are meaningless without supporting evidence from scientific literature. He took 'The Associate Parliamentary group for Animal Welfare' through numerous examples of medical research being hindered or
delayed by animal experiments including the case of Antibiotics being shelved for 10 years due to an adverse reaction in rabbits.

He stated that medical progress advances 'despite' of and not because of animal use and stated that research must remain in a Human context.

He quoted many instances of dangerously ineffective & misleading animal research from Primate based Aids research into Multiple sclerosis to stroke research, incluing the recently withdrawn arthritis drug Vioxx which had cardioprotective effects in animals but caused as many as 140,000 fatal heart attacks & strokes in Humans.

He said that 82% of GP's are concerned that animal Data can be misleading when applied to Humans & that animal experiments have Never been formally evaluated and the Home Office has no plans to do so.
