[NAVA] Yorks Regional News [Evening edition] Victory! No Beagle Farm

Dog farm plans blocked
4.48PM Thu Jun 16 2011

Plans for a massive beagle farm to breed thousands of dogs for animal testing have been thrown out by councillors in East Yorkshire. The farm would have been the biggest in Britain and the animals would have been destined for laboratories across the country. Protestors made their voices heard outside the council meeting in Beverley and the plans were blocked.

Who's the lying bitch with the red hair? Strict legislation - don't make me laugh - what BS! Time and time again these places are exposed for illegal animal abuse, and nothing ever gets done, mainly due to the Government being in the back pocket of the big pharmaceutical companies.

Animal testing is only so popular as it is the quickest way to get new products cleared for public use. It's all about lead times and getting one over competitors and public safety and ethics are irrelevant.

Excellent news. There are many alternatives like The Humane Research Trust or The Dr Hadwen Trust for Humane Research (DHT) the UK’s leading medical research charity that funds and promotes the development of techniques and procedures to replace the use of animals in biomedical research and testing.

this has gone to appeal and its now in the hands of Eric pickles (secretary of state ) a final decision is going to be made around 2nd week in January 2012, for the sake of ethics , your health and democracy this cannot happen,

thats nothing in an earlier interview, david pruce from understanding animal research told BBC look north that, "you want your'e children to live don't you, you want to save people from H.I.V and cancer don't you" seriously even the general public are starting to see through the lies and the greed of these particular research companies, who pays David Pruce to give people false hopes and lies to get them to donate,

Only use animals when "necessary"? I would say 4500+ beagles a year which is a rough estimate for the UK alone, is a lot of "necessary". That sure seems like an egregious amount of "necessary" experiments to justify using/killing at least 12 of these innocent creatures EVERY SINGLE DAY. Fucking lying scumbags, I hope they all burn in hell.
