SATURDAY APRIL 25th World Day for Animals In laboratories 2010 EVERYWHERE

************************************************************************************************

World Day for Laboratory Animals is a United Nations recognized day of international commemoration of the suffering and killing of millions of innocent sentient beings in laboratories throughout the world.

On Saturday April 24th 2010 campaigners from across the World will be gathering to mark World Day for Animals in Laboratories.
Please join this protest.



Campaigning organizations across the globe will mark World Day for Laboratory Animals, a time to reflect upon the pain and suffering caused to millions of animals all in the name of a fraudulent scientific practice - a practice that is not only is so cruel to the animals so horribly abused and killed by vivisectors but a practice that so cruelly gives false hope to those with illness and disease.
