Experiments using animals
Sir, — Natalie Taylor (“The Press,” April 22) may not realise it but her fight is for children and future generations, not just animals. Rapidly increasing quantities of potentially dangerous synthetic substances are at present pouring into the human environment through the flood-gates of labor-atory-animal testing. Sometimes a mere two-month trial without fatal effects can turn on the green light and start the profits rolling in. For its own health, the public should be demanding a ban on all such animal tests except those absolutely necessary to forward public campaigns against serious diseases. — Yours, etc., B. P. LILBURN. April .22, 1980.
