| April 24, 2020 WORLD DAY FOR ANIMALS IN LABS At last count, 3.9 million animals (mice, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, monkeys, pigs and more) were used in labs in Canada alone, 120,099 “subjected to severe pain” without analgesia. On the Lunar Calendar this is the YEAR OF THE RAT Let’s make it the YEAR OF THE LAB-RAT HOW WILL YOU MARK WORLD DAY FOR LAB ANIMALS? Write to your MP for humane laws governing lab animal treatment and ending secrecy behind lab doors. Humane alternatives are less cruel and also better science: cell tissue, in-vitro testing, computer modelling and imaging Copy your messages to Ministers of Justice, Science & Industry, and the National Research Council ( https://nrc.canada.ca/en ).
