Two years ago today, on the #SummerSolstice, The Mirror published our first exclusive with Ricky Gervais and Peter Egan, exposing the horrific suffering of UK beagles, factory farmed for laboratory experiments that are today proven to entirely fail the search for human cures. Thank you Nada Farhoud 🇱🇧🇬🇧 💚🌳🐾... show more

@DailyMirror @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @TanDhesi @PGibsonSNP @Wera_Hobhouse @GwynneMP @DrLisaCameronMP @MartynDaySNP @MikeAmesburyMP @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @AP #AnimalExperiments are sold as claimed predictive models of humans, in medical research & safety testing. This peer reviewed science paper shows those claims are false, & why we so urgently need the Parliament #EDM278 #science hearing to demonstrate that:
@DailyMirror @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @TanDhesi @PGibsonSNP @Wera_Hobhouse @GwynneMP @DrLisaCameronMP @MartynDaySNP @MikeAmesburyMP @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @AP Why, for Christ sake is it law that medicines have to be tested on animals before we have them?
Well said. Humans do not visit the local veterinary clinic for their treatments, and vice-versa. At the moment, there’s still an outdated requirement to test new human medicines on two animal species, first a rodent, then a dog or a primate. The science key is that today we know that no animal model holds predictive value for human patient responses, in medical research and safety testing, you can read more about that here:
@DailyMirror @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @TanDhesi @PGibsonSNP @Wera_Hobhouse @GwynneMP @DrLisaCameronMP @MartynDaySNP @MikeAmesburyMP @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @AP This is taking far too long. We need a debate. We need to stop allowing outdated unsafe practice because of vested interests. People are dying, animals are dying. For what? Profit.
@DailyMirror @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @TanDhesi @PGibsonSNP @Wera_Hobhouse @GwynneMP @DrLisaCameronMP @MartynDaySNP @MikeAmesburyMP @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @AP Fantastic 👏👏👏
@DailyMirror @rickygervais @PeterEgan6 @TanDhesi @PGibsonSNP @Wera_Hobhouse @GwynneMP @DrLisaCameronMP @MartynDaySNP @MikeAmesburyMP @ChrisGPackham @MeganMcCubbin @AP Sadly it's not about how successful it is but how much money the breeders and the pharma companies make! The fact that an enormous number of animals suffer unnecessarily is of no concern to the ghouls!
Just to let you know that pharmaceutical companies are acutely aware of the failure of animal models in their drug development process, & write about this openly & often in the scientific literature; here are some of their very extensive reports: #EDM278 #OperationBeagle #EndAnimalTesting #EvidenceBased #Science #Medicine #Inquiry #DogsOfTwitter #BetsyAmbassador
