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

Please contact the University of Nottingham 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 Nottingham carried out 25,563 procedures on 25,248 animals in 2017, including 95 on cows, 319 on sheep, 12,865 on mice, 5,177 on fish, 6,330 on rats, 89 on guinea pigs, 410 on birds, 36 on pigs, 36 on rabbits, and 206 on other animals.

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 Nottingham.

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 Nottingham 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,
