Stop RSPCA testing on animals!
The RSPCA have been looking out for animals since 1824.
As the leading animal welfare charity, their ethics policy allows them to test on laboratory animals which do suffer significantly. These practises are going against the RSPCA values.
RSPCA should be against animal testing and cruel treatment of animals but this doesn't seem to count their lab animals who suffer significantly.
RSPCA's ethics policy states : "Sometimes our desire to help animals may carry a cost to others. For example, the veterinary vaccines we encourage millions of pet owners to use have been developed and tested using laboratory animals, many of which cause significant suffering"
