We’re a patient advocacy organisation, opposed to animal experiments on human medical grounds, and this @BBCNews piece is biased: it completely excludes the vast expert evidence against using veterinary medicine for humans. Can we have a op-ed? aerzte-gegen-tierversuche.de… #EDM187

This is so important, thank you @PeterEgan6. Abandoning failure is NEVER dependent upon what else is available. The #HerbiesLaw website acknowledges a 92% failure rate of animal tests, in human drug trials, but allows this medical catastrophe to continue for another 10 years.

Claims such as yours are often made by people, like you, whose livelihoods depend upon animal experimentation. Such claims are today widely disputed by experts in the science community; it’s time for your claims to be judged by independent experts in the #EDM278 #science hearing.

Hi Nicholas, I’m Ellen, a cancer patient. Sadly, this petition nods to the old 3Rs policy. In truth, abandoning the human medical failure of animal experiments is never dependent upon the availability or validation of NAMs, which is a red herring. #CureCancer #EDM278 #Medicine

#AnimalExperiments are sold as claimed predictive models of humans, in medical research & safety testing. This peer reviewed science paper shows those claims are false, & why we so urgently need the Parliament #EDM278 #science hearing to demonstrate that: peh-med.biomedcentral.com/co…

2/ As a cancer patient, we urgently need to demonstrate, to the currently duped @GOVUK, that animal tests fail the search for cures. There’s an urgent need to step outside old 1959 3Rs replacement laws, and ask the Gov. to hold the #EDM278 science hearing, to shed clear light.

1/ Hi Carol, it’s Ellen here. It’s not an old link, it’s in the main menu! And ‘replacement’ is the worst con of all 3Rs laws, as it states animal tests must continue if there’s no replacement. Clearly, abandoning medical failure is never dependent upon what else is available.

No you don’t! You personally ‘champion’ a medically false concept: the 3Rs, and mislead the public that ‘animal use is deemed unavoidable.’👇 Instead, you should be standing up for current scientific truth: animal experiments are PROVEN to fail humans across the board. #EDM278

What utter rubbish! You use 3Rs language because you choose to stay stuck in 1959, when the 3Rs was formed for ‘humane experimental technique on animals’. What you should be doing is joining 110 cross-party MPs calling for the #EDM175 #science hearing, to #EndAnimalTesting now.

I’m Ellen, a cancer patient & new admin here. I can’t understand why you’ve engaged the chair of 3Rs @FRAMEcharity to speak about medicine! The 3Rs maintains the lie that ‘animal use is unavoidable’.👇 In truth, animal tests are today proven to fail humans. #Science #CureCancer

We’re a patient advocacy organisation, opposed to animal testing on medical grounds. Laboratory animals are today widely reported to be entirely failing the search for human treatments & cures, which is why 110 cross-party MPs are calling for the #EDM278 science hearing. #Cures

We’re a patient advocacy organisation; our senior doctor has written the paper against @ProfNoelFitz’s @HumanimalTrust. Please read the paper, it responds to Noel’s false position that animals have predictive value in human drug testing & disease research: afma-curedisease.org/media/3…

This is a life & death issue for patients. Trying to model humans using animals is like asking vets to treat our children: a dangerous act, prosecutable by law. As patient advocates, we thank @PGibsonSNP for her vital stand for medical truth. @RishiSunak #EDM278 #Science #Cures

Thank you Sir for your invaluable support. As patient advocates we wholeheartedly support this ban: animal-based research is tantamount to humans going to vets when we fall ill. It’s time for the #EDM175 science hearing to ban this dangerous practice NOW: patientscampaigningforcures.…

As patient advocates may we underline that no animal test, including the LD50, has ever been validated in the way these human-based tests are required to be. That’s why the #EDM175 science hearing is so vital, to prove that animal tests actually kill humans. @XCellR8_labs

We believe they’ll continue to share the 3Rs, without realising the damage they’re causing to human patients & animals. We believe this because it’s already happening, which is why @PeterEgan6 resigned publicly to draw a clear line and be able to comment again.

If Camp Beagle don’t support the 3Rs they’re going to have to prove that by not sharing posts calling for a method that harms and kills human patients to be gradually phased out.
