 Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) is an international animal-rights campaign against Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS), Europe's largest contract animal-testing laboratory, based in Huntingdon and Occold, England, and New Jersey in the United States.
These laws are already among the world's strictest laws on animal use in medical testing; closing down HLS would mean displacing animal testing to smaller laboratories in the UK, they say, or moving the testing to a country with less strict laws on animal testing.
Animal rights extremists are highly organized and fully prepared to resort to a wide range of illegal tactics to intimidate and harass people engaged in lawful activity.

 PETA: Greenwashing > Environmental Defense
PETA wrote to Environmental Defense because it was one of the chief architects, and is largely responsible for initiating, the EPA’s notorious high production volume (HPV) chemical-testing program, which was created to pressure chemical manufacturers to test (or retest) thousands of chemicals using an arbitrary "checklist" of crude, painful, and uninformative animal tests.
Despite claiming to "strongly support federal funding of research, development, and validation of non-animal test methods," Environmental Defense also reiterated, at great length, its ardent support for animal-testing.

 Alternatives to Animal Testing
This reduction in the number of animal tests, together with refinements in the methods used, brings a concurrent reduction in animal suffering, and, more importantly, the reduction in animal testing is expected to continue.
In addition to the potential ban on animal testing in the 6th Amendment to the European Cosmetics Directive, one of the industries strongest initiatives has been the establishment, by teh Colipa International Companies' Council in 1992, of SCAAT, the Steering Committee on Alternatives to Animal Testing.
Under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Laurent of Belgium, this symposium provided the perfect opportunity for the many dedicated researchers in the scientific community to come together and review the state of the worldwide progress in the development of alternatives to animal testing.

 Ledbury Online Meeting Place
Sequani claimed in 2001 that they would be making a shift towards invitro methods of testing rather than use live animals and, once again - "We are firmly committed to the development and the use of non-animal-based alternatives to the use of animals in human and veterinary pharmaceutical safety evaluation.
Sequani, which is frequently the site of demonstrations against experiments on animals, says the liquid nitrogen was used to carry out non-animal-based testing, such as the use of bacterial and cell cultures.
We think the Sequani laboratories, where beagles, rabbits, genetically modified mini pigs, mice, rats and guinea pigs are poisoned, tortured and killed every day by Sequanis employees, should by now, as promised years ago, have turned to invitro and computer model testing (non animal testing).

 Animal Testing
The reason that animal testing is appropriate is that there are regulations in place to minimize testing and pain, the alternatives are insufficient for now, and most importantly the information obtained from experimentation is irreplaceable.
While animal rights groups such as PETA advocate abolishing all animal testing that inflicts pain on animals, proponents of testing cite laws and regulations which minimize pain and discomfort.
For animal rights activists, like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the answer is no. PETA pressures labs into halting experiments because they believe that animals are not to be used by humans for food, clothing, entertainment, or to experiment on (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals 1).

 Amazon.com: Books: Animal Liberation
Singer continues his "blistering indictment of so-called humane use of animals in scientific research" (LJ 12/1/75), describes the current (and still atrocious) state of animal testing, and brings up to date the activities of the animal rights movement, nascent at the time of the first edition's release.
As an animal rights advocate for about 8 years, I figured that it was finally time to read "Animal Liberation", hailed as the "Bible" of the modern animal rights movement.
Many animal advocates will be surprised to read that Singer's theory allows for the eating of animals (so long as the animals are treated well prior to consuming them), but strangely does not justify stopping there.

 Altweb-ECVAM Reports
In 1989, Alan Goldberg and Bert van Zutphen decided to initiate a series of world congresses devoted to alternatives and animal use in the life sciences (covering the Three Rs in research, testing and education), which were to be held every three years.
However, in the case of regulatory efficacy and toxicity testing, research specifically aimed at providing validated replacements for the currently accepted animal test procedures and testing strategies should be conducted, and the value of such research should be recognised by the scientific community at large.
Meanwhile, David Smyth, a distinguished physiologist, was conducting a survey on the Three Rs for the Research Defence Society, which led to another important landmark, the publication of his book on Alternatives to Animal Experiments (10).
