A research program taking place at Cardiff University to tackle major human diseases by breeding and experimenting on genetically modified mice is causing nightmarish suffering to hundreds of thousands of animals every year. For every GM mouse used in an experiment, hundreds more will die or be killed as ‘surplus’ or ‘failures’. The scale of suffering involved is greater than in any other area of animal research.

Despite huge amounts of funding over several years, including from the charity Cancer Research UK (CRUK), these programs have failed to deliver benefits for human patients. Using GM mice to mimic human disease is not delivering meaningful healthcare advances.

Read the report or watch the short film by Animal Aid for a fuller picture of the research being undertaken by Cardiff University.

If you want to help spread the word and resist this obscene practice come down to the University Campus on Fri 1st Mar or Queen St. on Sat 2nd Mar from 11am.
