Over 125k sign petition against labrador experiments

The Anti Animal Testing Coalition (ADC) reports that 127 thousand people signed the petition against Maastricht University's experiments on Labradors. The signatures will be given to the University tomorrow. The experiments on the Labradors have been suspended. But ADC say they will not rest until experiments on dogs have been put to a complete stop. The eight Labradors that would have been used in the experiments have been moved to a foundation that will place them with adoptive families. "It is a pleasure to see the eight Labradors cheerful and happy wagging their tails." says Robert Molenaar, campaign leader for the ADC.
