Experiments on animals aren't just cruel – they're scientifically flawed and don't predict effects in humans.

Please contact the University of Leeds now and ask it to move away from cruel animal experiments and to invest more in non-animal methods.

Dear {contact_data~salutation} {contact_data~lastName},

I was horrified to learn that experimenters at the University of Leeds used 27,342 animals for scientific purposes in 2017 , including 21,616 mice (4,617 bred and killed for experiments without being used), 593 rats, 156 birds, 358 pigs, and 2 rabbits.

Every one of these animals was a unique individual with the capacity to feel pain and fear, and they undoubtedly suffered tremendously during the procedures performed on them at the University of Leeds.

A range of non-animal alternatives are available, including in vitro methods using human cells and tissues as well as advanced computer-modelling techniques. Not only are these more humane than tests on animals, they're also more reliable and precise and can be more cost-effective.

As one of the top universities in the UK, the University of Leeds has a responsibility to lead the way in ethical research. I therefore urge you to move away from inflicting pain and suffering on animals and to invest more in modern, pioneering, animal-free research methods.

Yours sincerely,

Kind regards,
