e-333 (Use of animals in research)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- We are deeply concerned at the extent of animal use in both private and publicly funded scientific research in Canada;
- We are shocked and saddened to learn that many of the animals involved are made to endure severe pain that is near, at, or above, the pain tolerance threshold of unanesthetized, conscious animals; and
- The studies may be of long duration, after which the animal may be killed or 'recycled' for use in further experiments.
