EU plans to cut animal tests
Industry groups pledge to collaborate on refining, reducing, and replacing the use of lab animals
By Stephen Pincock
A leading animal rights organization in Europe has given a cautious thumbs-up to a pledge made by industry groups last week to help the European Union expedite the search for new alternatives to animal testing.
At a meeting in Brussels hosted by the European Commissioners for Enterprise and Research, Günter Verheugen and Janez Potočnik – along with groups representing the chemical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, soap and detergents, animal health, and crop protection industries -- signed a joint declaration on the "3 Rs"-- refining, reducing and replacing the use of lab animals.
"We think it is a very promising initiative," said Marlou Heinen from the Eurogroup for Animal Welfare, an umbrella group for some 19 animal welfare organizations. "But we see it very much as a first step—whether it will be an actual success will very much depend on how this is going to be implemented."

Tell me, do you ALF people carry cards that state you do not want to recieve any life saving treatments/drugs that have been tested or developed on animals?
No diabetics amongst you for example?

By the way, the ALF seems to have a massive blind spot for the country's millions of farm animals. Vivisectionists make media-friendly, high-profile targets, but if you started targetting honest-to-goodness, bailer-twine-belted farmers you might have to deal with firearms instead of people who actually comply with animal-welfare laws.
you are aptly named. I'm glad to see that the ALF have left you hopping mad.
You "animal rights" people make me sick.
You have no respect for the rule of law or common decency. You are illegitimate, inarticulate violent bullies with no positive solutions to offer
