Rejected petition STOP Puppies And Kittens From Being Clubbed To Death In Laboratories
More details
Laboratory puppies and kittens may be clubbed to death instead of being 'put to sleep' under new EU law.
Puppies and kittens could be clubbed to death under new European Union regulations on the welfare of laboratory animals.
Currently, newborn puppies, kittens, ferrets and fox cubs which are not needed for scientific research are put to sleep.
But rules due to become law in the UK by 2013 sanction killing by a 'percussive blow to the head'.
We cannot let this happen. please sign and pass it on.
