Ask Your MP to Attend This Important Parliamentary Reception on Ending the Use of Animals in Experiments

Ask your MP to attend a special Parliamentary Reception marking one year since the publication of the UK Government’s Replacing Animals in Science Strategy.

Experimenters subject living, feeling beings to immense physical and psychological suffering. In UK laboratories, dogs may be force-fed pesticides, rabbits can be cut open and stitched back together , and mice can be deliberately given brain injuries before being killed. Countless other animals are poisoned, infected with diseases, paralysed, or electrocuted.

PETA and its supporters called on the Government to create a plan for endng experiments on animals. It listened.

In November 2025, the Government published its Replacing Animals in Science Strategy, a potentially transformative step towards ending animal suffering, modernising UK research, and accelerating the adoption of effective, ethical, human-relevant methods.

But a strategy is only as strong as its implementation.

On Wednesday, 11 November, PETA will bring together Parliamentarians, Government officials, scientists, and other specialists at the House of Commons to review progress, examine the challenges ahead, and identify priorities for the Strategy’s next phase.

Your MP needs to be part of that conversation.

Their engagement could help determine how quickly the UK moves away from cruel and outdated experiments on animals and embraces modern, non-animal science.

We have drafted an email inviting your MP to attend. All you need to do is add your details, review the message, and send it.

MPs are more likely to listen when they hear directly from the people they represent. Please contact your MP now and urge them to attend.

Please note that a UK address is required to complete this action.

Dear {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName},

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to attend an important upcoming Parliamentary Reception on the UK Replacing Animals in Science Strategy.

You will have already received an official invite, so if you have already decided to attend, thank you in advance on behalf of animals. If not, I urge you to attend this very important event.

The Parliamentary Reception, “One year on: Progress on the UK Replacing Animals in Science Strategy”, will be held on Wednesday 11 November, 1 – 3 pm, Thames Pavilion, House of Commons. It is being sponsored by Ruth Jones MP with support from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Drinks and canapés will be served.

The UK Replacing Animals in Science Strategy is a potential landmark step in ending experiments on animals, modernising UK science and accelerating the shift toward more humane and advanced research methods - but effective implementation is key. With a new Prime Minister, the event comes at a crucial time to demonstrate leadership in delivering the Strategy and translating its ambitions into action. The Parliamentary Reception will bring together Parliamentarians, Government officials, leading scientists, celebrities and sector experts into one room to review progress on the Strategy, discuss challenges, and identify priorities for the next phase of implementation.    
 
Experimenters subject living, feeling beings to almost unbearable suffering. In the UK, dogs are force-fed pesticides, rabbits are  cut open and stitched back together, and experimenters inflict brain injuries on mice before decapitating them.  The UK still subjects millions of animals to these kinds of procedures each year - more than 2.5 million procedures were conducted on animals in Great Britain last year.

Your engagement is vital. As my MP, your participation would demonstrate a commitment to evidence-based policymaking and to ensuring that the UK leads the way internationally in adopting animal-free, humane, and advanced scientific methods. Join PETA’s event to do your part in shaping the future of UK research, for animals, science and patients. Please RSVP to Awilkinson@peta.org.uk.

Sincerely,
