Ever Wonder What an Animal (Torture) Lab Looks Like? November 13, 2008

Here's a guest blog from Sarah with peta2 UK.

Oxford University in the UK officially stated that its new animal lab is complete—not so good news for the animals. Animal rights campaigners, not just around the country—but around the world, have been trying to stop plans for the new laboratory to go ahead.

You can watch the inside footage of the lab here, where the presenter thinks it's OK that way more mice, rabbits and ferrets will be experimented on than primates—because their lives are worth less...? He also thinks it's OK that the monkeys will be able to look into a corridor for the best part of their confinement! This guy can't be for real—I wouldn't put a mouse in those 'play area' cages, let alone a monkey!

Over 100 million animal experiments every year worldwide have failed to deliver cures or proven to be ineffective, with a whopping 92% of drugs that passed animal trials failed in humans.

Oxford University should cut the cave man crap and look to using more modern, humane and non-animal research methods.

Every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering—every day we make choices, please make sure that yours is a compassionate one.
