largest Animal Testing Project in History and we will not see
its like again. Considering the scale and cost of this policy

> A new European Chemical Testing Policy called REACH has now
been finalised by the European Union. Under these proposals
30,000 Chemicals of every kind - from those used in industrial
processes to the ingredients of consumer products -will be
tested on Millions of animals from mice to fish to dogs, causing
untold suffering.

> Still worse, because of this reliance on outdated animal
techniques, reliable and relevant information will not be
provided and our safety will not be assured.
>
>
> This is URGENT because Testing has now started.
>
>
> If you believe that REACH should make more use of Alternative
Testing to test 30,000 Chemicals that have been in general use
since before 1985 then please take action now.
>
>
> If you are a European citizen please
contact your local papers and own MEP asking them to promote the
development of humane non-animal testing methods under the REACH
legislation, which is the best hope we have for sparing animals
the misery of a testing laboratory.
