Crass menagerie
Nearly one-fifth of all experiments in the UK are now carried out in Scotland. It is unacceptable so many animals continue to suffer and die in Scottish labs, including 1,399 rabbits, 4,563 sheep, 265,191 fish and 746 pigs.
We are supporting the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection in its call for the UK government to fulfil its pledge and reduce the number of animals used in research. In the 21st century we should not still be subjecting so many animals to pain and suffering in laboratories.
