I have been actively involved within the field of alternative health care for the past 20 years.

I have always been both mystified and appalled by vivisection; mystified because I have yet to find anything to substantiate its efficacy (except to line the pockets of those involved) and appalled because of the suffering, abuse and torment that the animals have to endure.

Vivisection is a pseudo-science. Animals differ from humans both anatomically and physiologically. They suffer from different illnesses to us.

Their biochemistry is different, they digest and metabolise drugs differently, they have different diets and their life spans are much shorter etc. It is therefore a nonsense to expect animal experiments to provide accurate and reliable data.

Many drugs that satisfy animal testing criteria and make it onto the open market go on to create damaging side effects and sometimes even death in humans.

Vivisection is more than just a travesty for the animals its bad news for humans as well. At the end of the day it’s “us” – the humans - that ultimately become the “test model!”

I fully support the Huntingdon Campaign, as I firmly believe there should be no place in our so-called civilised society for vivisection.

I sincerely hope that we, as a country, can lead the way forward, with eventual legislation, to ensure that this outrage is banned to protect both humans and animals alike.
