Petition: Stop animal testing

We would like the Government to ban all animal testing UK, including for the development of cosmetics, household products and medicines. Alternatives need to be actively funded.

I really must publish more here. I’ve been doing all these reviews and author interviews and then work gets in the way, yea that work that pays the bills. That work that makes me want a different job and increasingly gets to me. 15 years or so and still just a number and nowadays more devalued.
