Petition text:
We, the undersigned, express our concern that the practice of testing medical drugs should still involve much-criticized animal methods.
The validity of data for humans is widely doubted, and many scientists feel animal methods should be immediately abandoned.
We urge the UK government to honour it's pre-election pledge to investigate the practice, and endorse the views expressed by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, 83% of General Practitioners, The Toxicology Working Group of the House of Lords Select Committee on Animals in Scientific and the hundreds of MPs from all major parties who support an inquiry.
We call upon the UK government to initiate a thorough, transparent independent inquiry without delay.
