It doesn't matter if it's cold, raining or snowing. Until January 14, the Lav demonstrates in front of the Ministry of Health throughout the opening hours of its offices. He does it to ask the Government and Minister Lorenzin to comply with Article 13, which had been approved to limit at least animal testing in our country.
Just yesterday the demonstrators got today with the leaders of the Ministry of Health, after an exchange with Minister Lorenzin himself, who went down to speak with the demonstrators on the second day of the garrison carried out in Rome by the animal welfare associations. The latest news from the ministry would give hope: the text of the Legislative Decree Scheme on animal testing "Is not closed", changes are possible, while the deadline for the issue of the new legislation has been postponed to next March 4th.
Meanwhile, the Association does not exclude appeals up to the Constitutional Court if article 13 of the delegation law is not fully respected, as also requested by the Constitutional Affairs Commission of the Senate. I'm 900 thousand animals killed every year for experimental purposes, while a truly effective research to protect human health is struggling to establish itself. The challenge of innovation against an obscurantist method such as that of vivisection and the effective protection of the health of citizens await.
“All the media have reported the insults directed by alleged" animal rights "against Catherine, but the debate is unbalanced: Above all, researchers in favor of animal experimentation are consulted, while the qualified opinions against the use of animals in research are ignored. The testimonies of sick or disabled people against vivisection are also marginalized, in an atmosphere of tyranny that leaves much bitterness and reveals little transparency towards citizens, led to believe that vivisection is a necessary evil ", explains Michela Kuan, responsible for LAV Vivisection.
The reality is that hundreds of millions of animals are killed to obtain funds, impose unsafe procedures on humans (last guinea pig), in a process in which the patient is not a patient, but a client, adds the expert, who reiterates that the "freedom of research" that is being talked about vigorously in recent days is nothing more than willingness to continue with animal testing.
"The obscurantism is that of those who do not have the desire and ability to innovate. Citizens have the right to know the truth. We give a voice to those who have none, to doctors and researchers who ask for a useful science without animals and to the sick who are waiting for treatment whose funds are instead squandered on useless and harmful research ”, concludes Kuan.
