Today (Tuesday 12th October) marks the launch of a new campaign aimed at putting an end to poisoning tests in non human primates. The group Antidote Europe has teamed up with BBC wildlife presenter Dr Charlotte Uhlenbroek and with Dr Ray Greek (president of Americans for Medical Advancement) to provide a compelling ethical and scientific argument against these experiments. The launch provides a stark reminder to the authorities that 82% of EU citizens demand that they uphold their duty to protect the rights of animals whatever the cost.
