Alternatives to animal experimentation are
now available in virtually every field
of medical research

"I don't believe that research should be carried
out at the expense of animals."

The Home Office statistics for 2010 show
that 3,724,726 animal procedures were
conducted in the UK alone!

"In this modern world, new scientific approaches
can and do make a real difference."

"Cruel and unnecessary animal experiments
should play no part in a humanitarian society."

"The Dr Hadwen Trust is showing all the time
how much can be done without resorting to cruelty -
with your help they can do even more."

"We are proud to support the work of
the Dr Hadwen Trust and are constantly
astonished and humbled by their
groundbreaking work."

"The sensible solution is provided by
the Dr Hadwen Trust."

"Please join us, and help in whatever way you can,
because we can make progress humanely."

"I wholeheartedly support the Dr Hadwen Trust’s
research into new ways to treat terrible human
illnesses such as cancer, because no animal
experimentation is involved."

"If alternatives exist to animal abuse and
cruelty, we are diminished and degraded
by failing to use them."

"I share the Dr Hadwen Trust’s ideals and urge
everyone who cares about people and animals
to join with me in supporting the Dr Hadwen Trust."

"One is encouraged beyond measure by the
knowledge that organisations such as the
Dr Hadwen Trust are doing such marvellous work."

"There are so many alternatives for research now
that protect both humans and animals, and it is
time that they became the norm, for all of our sakes."

"I am proud to support the Dr Hadwen Trust,
working to secure a future in which no animal
will be abused in the name of science."
