Unite to Care

Unite to Care (Cease Animal Research Experiments) was formed due to an increasing concern as to the use of animals and in particular beagle dogs in medical research. We are a not for profit organisation.

Our main aim is to offer a viable alternative to research companies to allow us the opportunity to find forever loving homes for any ex laboratory or breeding dogs that are surplus to their requirements and therefore of no commercial value, as per the conditions of licensing, that loss of life or suffering is to be kept to a minimum rather than the standard euthanasia carried out.

We are also campaigning for an end to all animal research and consequently safer medicines for all as the alternatives available that do not include suffering to animals are also a lot more accurate for the results in humans rather than relying on antiquated methods currently in place.

There has not been a review of the law in 65 years yet technology has advanced dramatically since then meaning that lives are being risked due to the reluctance to move forward which is vital to protect the public’s health, therefore we will be lobbying MPs and aiming to persuade regulators to accept alternatives to animal experiments where they exist already but are not used due to the easy acceptance that animal testing ‘will do’ as it provides enough protection for the pharmaceutical industry to be able to say they have tested to the standard required rather than the best method available.

Our final aim is to provide the public with the full information about the danger to their health by allowing animal research to continue unchallenged including providing the true facts to allow them to reach their own conclusion and join us in demanding changes are made and made quickly, not only for the cruelty aspect to the millions of animals in laboratories across the UK, but also to stop the risks that are being taken with their and their families health.

To allow this to be as accurate as possible we will also be pushing for the veil of secrecy surrounding this research to be removed as the majority of the research is funded by tax payers so they should have the right to know exactly what they are paying for and be allowed to see if they believe they are being provided a service that reflects the huge costs for no return. The budget is increasing again this year without consultation yet we are closing schools, hospitals, care homes and reducing frontline services.
