Government Petition - Goes Live
Government Petition – Ban immediately the use of dogs in scientific and regulatory procedures
As a first step to end animal testing, we want an immediate ban for dogs. They are commercially bred in what we see as bleak and inhumane factory-like conditions. We believe there is evidence suggesting that dogs are left being unattended for extended periods in a Government-licenced establishment.
In 2023, 2,456 dogs were used in 3,749 scientific procedures, 734 were classified as causing severe or moderate harm.
There were 2,593 procedures for regulatory purposes even though there is no UK legislation that mandates animal testing. These procedures can include oral gavage, when a tube is inserted into the dog’s throat, up to 3 times a day, to administer liquids to the stomach. There are studies questioning the reliability and human-relevant value of the outcomes of these tests.

Remember to click on the verification link in the email sent from the Government, as unless you do so, your signature will not count.
Remember that we need 100,000 signatures before 14th August 2025 in order that it can be debated in Parliament so please share, share & share!
Thank you.
