Do not accept EU Regulations allowing laboratory animals to be clubbed to death.
'Puppies and kittens could be clubbed to death under new European Union regulations on the welfare of laboratory animals.
Currently, newborn puppies, kittens, ferrets and fox cubs which are not needed for scientific research are put to sleep.
But rules due to become law in the UK by 2013 sanction killing by a 'percussive blow to the head'.
Animal welfare charities have described the technique as 'officially sanctioned cruelty''
This is from an article in the Daily Mail, it is inhumane and disgusting, this government should be condemning this, not considering it. Using animals in laboratories is objectionable in any circumstance, this is further proof and is barbaric in the extreme.
