World Day For Animals In Laboratories  24 April 2018

The 24th of April is World Day For Animals In Laboratories which is the movement of National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) since 1979. The date marked the birthday of NAVS president, Hugh Dowding.
Despite the hard work of animal protectors, more products are tested on animals. This movement created to terminate the suffering of animals in laboratories. The biggest manifestations were organized in London, Birmingham, Nottingham which goal was to stop the animal cruelty. These organisations deeply condemn animal experiments, not only on the field of the beauty industry also protest the experiments of scientific groups. On 22 April 2009 members of UCLA protested against Prof. David Jentsch who committed biochemical research on animals, this was a significant event where the animal rights activists joined their forces.
Besides many animal die in the experiments these are often unreliable and can couse the death of people because of the various toxic effects. In the BIA 10-2474 Drug Trial experiment one volunteer died, four showed evidence of brain damage, and one lost his fingers and toes.
Although advanced methods are replacing animal research the outdated laws are allow the animal tests before a product enter the market. In every year millions of animals die in these experiments. Researchers at London’s Institute of Neurology have been carrying out invasive brain experiments in monkeys for four decades what is really painful.
You can join this movement if you make a donation and help to stop these experiments, join to the social media campaigns, organise a fundraising event, write to the local newspaper about this problem.
