RSPCA Collects 68,000 Signatures Supporting an End to Animal Research
Critter News
SEPTEMBER 1, 2009
The RSPCA collected these signatures leading up to the the 7th World Congress on Alternatives & Animal Use in the Life Sciences in Rome.

I really believe the more people learn about what research animals go through, the more common decency becomes a factor. The problem is that people don't really look at the pictures, read the stories or think about what's happening.
