Animal Testing

REACH is the largest animal testing programme in the world, but many people have never heard of it.

In 2013, animal testers in Great Britain used more than 4.01 million animals in experiments, a 52 per cent increase since 2000.

Only one major airline still ships monkeys to laboratories to be used in experiments – Air France.

Air France has just sponsored a pound of foie gras to be given to each of the 751 members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in Strasbourg.

REACH is the largest animal testing programme in the world, with upwards of 50 million animals estimated to suffer and die in experiments.

Right now, animal tests in Britain are hidden behind a veil of secrecy.
