Scarlett is a beautiful rescued ex-laboratory dog: Beagle Ambassador for the science-based campaign For Life On Earth (FLOE) - whose evidence is illustrated by the leading medical experts against experiments on animals.
On the 6th September, at a star studied event at Grosvenor House London, Scarlett was awarded the Daily Mirror Animal Hero, Inspirational Animal of the Year award because she is turning a terrifying past into a bright future for all laboratory animals. Scarlett is helping to call for a rigorous public scientific debate, to judge the false claims that experiments on dog, and other animals, can predict the responses of humans. Scarlett’s parents Janie and Phil Green accompany Scarlett on stage to collect her award:
Chris has signed an Open Letter to Britain’s main advocate of animal experiments, Prof. Colin Blakemore, asking him to agree to participate in this debate. Add this to our present-day understanding of the roles evolutionary biology and complexity science play in medical research, and we have evidence which exposes the fallacy of continuing to claim that experiments on dogs, and other animals, are a viable scientific practice for human patients. Our letter to Prof. Blakemore represents a vital call for fair and open public scientific debate, so that decision makers can be informed by highly qualified experts – outside those with a vested interest”. According to current medical knowledge the results of such experiments are not capable of predicting the responses of human patients, a position highlighted by The British Medical Journal in its Editor’s Choice, June 2014.
Preeminent primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall is calling for a peer-reviewed science hearing about the claims of animal testing, to be judged by independent experts from the relevant fields of science. In her filmed statement, Dr. Goodall highlights a precedent medical ruling which defeated plans by Cambridge University to build a non-human primate lab, in 2002. Cambridge University wanted to build their proposed lab on Green Belt land and had to prove that their experiments were going to be in the ‘national interest’. Leading expert Dr. Ray Greek was engaged as chief scientific witness for the coalition against the lab, and after a two week Public Inquiry he secured a precedent ruling ‘on medical and scientific, national interest grounds’ – defeating plans to build the primate lab with current scientific knowledge.
For the Love of Dogs presenter, Paul O’Grady, has joined Chris Packham, Ricky Gervais and Peter Egan in signing an Open Letter to animal experimenter Prof. Colin Blakemore, asking him to agree to debate his claims about human medicine. The letter calls for Prof. Blakemore to agree to a rigorous public scientific debate about claims that experiments on animals can predict the responses of human patients, in disease research and medicine testing. The debate conditions have been endorsed as “well set out and fair” by leading human rights defence barrister Michael Mansfield QC: its outcome will be judged by a panel of independent experts from the relevant fields of science. According to current medical knowledge the results of such experiments are not capable of predicting the responses of human patients, a position highlighted by The British Medical Journal in its Editor’s Choice, June 2014.
