HELP ANIMALS IN EU LABORATORIES - The Petition Site

HELP ANIMALS IN EU LABORATORIES - The Petition Site: "In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that the Directive 86/609EEC needs to be revised in order to promote improvements in the welfare of laboratory animals and to further foster the development of alternative methods.
We need a comprehensive revision of Directive which is by now out of date since it was adopted more than 20 years ago.
Please, support a ban on the use of great apes in experiments and allow adoption of the proposal to revise Directive 86/609 EEC."
