Question
Hi! My name is Karleigh Evans and I am a grade twelve student at Vincent Massey Collegiate in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
For a final research project in my English class, I have chosen to research the issue of animal testing. I am against animal testing, seeing how it is cruel and inhumane to innocent and helpless animals. For my essay, I need a primary source, and I was hoping someone at your organization could provide me with some answers to a few questions. It would be greatly appreciated if you could answer a few questions (below) and email back your reply as soon as possible. Thank you again, hopefully you can help!

Questions



1) What are your opinions on animal testing and what can be done to eliminate it?

2) What are the most effective ways in which people can help to fight animal testing or eliminate it?

3) How do you view the alternatives to using animal testing? (Such as Invitro, Reduction, Refinement, Replacement)  

Answer
Hi Karleigh,

Here is a website that will answer all of your questions as I abhore animal testing, but alas, am not an expert.
