Panel 7 - What can we do?

  • Gather information about vivisection, while not being afraid to read informative, scientific or ethical books and articles about this topic.

  • Distribute informative literature and talk about the problem to as many people as possible.

  • Make your condemnations heard on many occasions (attend debates, write letters to magazines).

  • Help the associations fighting against vivisection financially, or even better, become an activist.

  • Boycott all those who are involved in vivisection.

  • Offer your professional skills free if they are useful (doctors for lectures, lawyers for complaints, teachers to talk in schools, typographers to print literature).

  • Do not help associations for medical research since at the moment, this means financing vivisection.

34. Rodents are the most commonly used animals in vivisection laboratories, not because they provide a good experimental model of human pathologies, but because they are cheap and simple to stall.
Photo obtained by RSPCA (1980's).

35. This rat, held in a restraining device, was subjected to a procedure for inserting a cannula into his brain. Vivisectors do not realize that the results obtained on animals cannot be transferred to man and that animals, like man, can suffer enormously.
