A new European Chemical Testing Policy called
REACH has now been finalised by the European
Union. Under these proposals Chemicals
of every kind - from those used in industrial
processes to the ingredients of consumer
products - will be tested on Millions of animals from
mice to fish to dogs, causing untold suffering.

Michaelangelo...

If you believe that REACH should make more use of
Alternative Testing to test its Chemicals then please
take action now.

If you are a European citizen please contact your local
papers and own MEP asking them to promote the
development of humane non-animal testing methods
under the REACH legislation, which is the best hope we
have for sparing animals the misery of a testing laboratory.

A sample letter can be found at the BUAV (British Union
(Select Campaigns, Chemical Testing, Get Active then
Writing to the local press).

For all Non-European members, you can still help.
Please tell all your colleagues and friends in the UK
and Europe about REACH. Everyone can help and you
can make a difference.
