Demonstration in London to mark World Day for Animals in Laboratories

Anti-vivisection demonstrators marched in London to mark World Day for Animals in Laboratories. Campaigners from the UK and beyond gathered to call for an end to animal experiments. The aim of the march through the centre of London is to take the anti-vivisection message to large numbers of shoppers, tourists and residents.
Speaker at the rally in Whitehall Place called on the government to reverse it pro-vivisection policies. Demonstrators are angry that Labour reneged on their pre-election promises to investigate animal experiments and, soon after coming to power, abandoned plans to hold an official inquiry into animal experimentation claiming this would be too costly. They claim that the Labour Party was accepted millions in party donations from powerful figures in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, who were in return given key government positions and life peerages.
In the intervening years this has allowed the drug companies to wield huge influence over government policy. Far from the promised reduction and end of vivisection, in fact the numbers of animals experimented on have been increasing almost every year since 1997.
The anti-vivisection claim that the Government continues to ignore growing scientific evidence that animal experimentation is a seriously flawed practise.
This is the first time in over 15 years that the anti-vivisection movement has held a march in London to mark World Day for Animals in Laboratories. The march organisers hope to revive the spirit of those earlier marches, to unite and mobilise the anti-vivisection movement, to attract new campaigners and to take the anti vivisection message out to the public and to the heart of government.
