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.

Replying to @BBCPolitics
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

Please read the @Dogs_Today article, on how outdated charity law forbids #HerbiesLaw registered charities from ending laws which govern animal experiments. Read the Independent on this outdated ruling, which stops charities ending animal testing: independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho… #Dogs Says the National Anti-Vivisection Society: “In order to take up charitable status, the Navs would be obliged to give up our work to change the law on animal experiments, including drafting legislation, working with government departments and educating legislators around the world, in addition to our public education work. “In our view, this work is the most important thing we can do to achieve lasting protection for animals and so our members have made the decision that the financial benefits of charitable status must be sacrificed, to do what is right and necessary for animals.” #EndAnimalTesting #EvidenceBased #Science #EDM187 @rickygervais @johnmcdonnellMP @DeborahMeaden @missdianemorgan @NevilleSouthall @GaryLineker @KensingtonRoyal @EamonnHolmes @reallorraine @TVKev @RosieDuffield1 @jk_rowling @Martina @TanDhesi @Keir_Starmer @Number10cat @RoyalFamily @APDAWG1 @AP @itvnews @krishgm @StormHuntley @GBNEWS @Channel4News @DailyMirror @DailyMail @lorraine @JeremyVineOn5

Please watch our Patron @PeterEgan6 & science expert Dr. Andre Menache, on why #HerbiesLaw should not allow another 10 years of the cruel & failed practice of experiments on #dogs, & other #animals. We need the #EDM187 #science hearing, to #EndAnimalTesting now. @rickygervais “21st century technology is now readily available … it’s up to people like you and me, to inform the general public and politicians of the good news, and to accelerate the transition from animal testing to human-based research - and that doesn’t take 10 years, it doesn’t take 5 years, it can happen NOW.” - Dr. Andre Menache. @KensingtonRoyal @krishgm @GaryLineker @DeborahMeaden @StormHuntley @missdianemorgan @EamonnHolmes @TVKev @nowthisimpact @reallorraine @APDAWG1 @GrumpyOldRick @mermhart @Oprah @AllDogsMatter @SkyNews @GBNEWS @itvnews @Channel4News @DailyMirror @Independent @DailyMail
Every MP just got a copy of @Dogs_Today's magazine with @RickyGervais and @BetsyAmbassador on the cover. Can you make sure they read the article on page 6? Please can you click the button to lobby your MP on page 10, and if you're not yet sure - watch a brilliant video of Ricky talking to Dr Greek and Jane Goodall telling you why experimenting on animals doesn't work .... Let's not wait another day to stop pointless and cruel animal testing! Be more Ricky and use your voice because Beagles like Betsy suffer in silence. 2,000 Beagles bred in the UK for vivesction every year, let's not wait to prove this is a waste of money and lives. Click here for your free digital copy: free2read.dogstodaymagazine.… and click here for why I think this campaign is probably the most significant inteh 35 years I've been @Dogs_Today 's editor. @thedevilwearsdoghair instagram.com/reel/DQrxV6qCI…

Did you know that Prof. Niall Shanks is not only author of God, the Devil & Darwin (forward by Richard Dawkins), but also the seminal #biology work, Animal Models in Light of Evolution, on why animal experiments fail as predictive models of humans? @rickygervais #Science #EDM187

We need to end pointless vivsection NOW not in 10 years time. Great video by @PeterEgan6 Have you lobbied your MP yet - could be easier! Download the free copy of DOgs Today here free2read.dogstodaymagazine.… - read the article on page 6, if convinced press the second button down on page 10 to email your MP. Still not sure?

Thank goodness precious @BetsyAmbassador was saved from the vivisection lab. Let’s protect all future Beagle puppies (did you know that a shocking 2,000 are bred to die in the UK each year?) Betsy can’t ask you herself. Luckily, her hero @rickygervais can! He wants pointless, ineffective and cruel animal testing to end – urgently. Why should anyone wait 10 years, as some high-profile campaigns suggest? Dog years are so very short; every day of suffering is one too many. When @Dogs_Today looked into this story, we were appalled. There’s a little-known ancient law that muzzles charities and prevents them from campaigning! Who knew? Look at the science – these ghastly tests don’t advance medical science. Many cures were delayed by testing on animals. Look into Betsy’s eyes – let’s all try to be more like Ricky! Join the specific call to action: order a physical copy of the magazine here bit.ly/BetsyandRicky - but if you can’t afford it, in two weeks it will be freely available to read digitally. At tiny independent @Dogs_Today, we’ve campaigned for a better world for dogs for 35 years – and we’d love many more of you to pull together to make this world safer for our best friends. Together, we can do this. @PeterEgan6 @ChrisGPackham @RosieDuffield1 @TanDhesi @krishgm @KensingtonRoyal @Keir_Starmer @Oprah @wossy @DanielSturridge @mermhart @EamonnHolmes @reallorraine @DailyMirror @Independent @DailyMail @GrumpyOldRick @DefraGovUK @APDAWG1 @JaneFallon @Sia @DeborahMeaden @ukhomeoffice #Dogs #EndAnimalTesting #EDM187 #EvidenceBased #Science

So proud of my dear friend, feminist superhero @bindelj 💜 I will always fight for women's rights alongside her, the Darlington nurses, @jk_rowling, @WomensRightsNet and every single one of the "little whinging fuckers" who irritate some of the most privileged 'progressive' men.
🧵 I suppose I am one of the "little whinging fuckers" on the wrong side of history, according to David Tennant's narcissistic posturing. When I was 16, an older male friend decided to rape me when we were alone in a train carriage. I had no way of finding a female-only

Men can never be women, & animals can never be humans. It’s time for the @GOVUK to stop claiming animals identify as humans. Dogs, & other animals, completely fail as *predictive* models of humans in medical research, & complexity science explains why. @rickygervais #Dogs #Cats @Keir_Starmer @RishiSunak @jk_rowling @Martina @JaneFallon @DreyfusJames @RosieDuffield1 @AP @piersmorgan @Dr_Dan_1 @danwootton @SkyNews @DailyMirror @NadaFarhoud @NevilleSouthall @GBNEWS @JournoJane @UKLabour @ConservativeAWF @Conservatives @DefraGovUK @ukhomeoffice #EvidenceBased #Science #Medicine #EndAnimalTesting #EDM25 #AnimalSentienceBill #Animals #AnimalRights

Why are we continuing to invest 100s of millions of dollars into animal studies with the delusion that they will provide clinical guidance for humans? Why are we, the public, not demanding more accountability? Who is benefitting? ow.ly/e1cY50xiQnh

We're a patient advocacy organisation opposed to animal experiments because they're now proven to fail the search for human treatments & cures. It's not possible to 'humanise animals', you need to go back to school & study evolutionary biology: sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #EDM175
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.

They have; here’s multi-award winning oncologist Dr. Azra Raza. As patient advocates, we urgently need to free the @GOVUK from the grip of the animal model community, and the quickest way to achieve that is through the fair science hearing called for by @UKParliament #EDM278.

It's time the public took more interest in their health and start to question medicines deemed safe when developed using a different species.

My criticism of the cancer paradigm is predicated on two principles: study human tissue and find cancer early, preferably by screening people at risk of getting cancer. Well, my voice is finally heard, albeit, partially! I rejoice. science.org/content/article/…

Dr. Albert Sabin developed the vaccine against polio & testified under oath to the U.S. House of Representatives, stating progress "was long delayed by the erroneous conception of the nature of the human disease based on misleading experimental models of the disease in monkeys."
