In der Fernsehserie "Akte X" entlarvte Gillian Anderson als FBI-Agentin bizarre Regierungsprogramme und zwielichtige wissenschaftliche Experimente.

Nun hilft die Emmy-Gewinnerin der Tierrechtsorganisation PETA Europe dabei, eine waschechte "Verschwörung" aufzudecken.

Mitglieder der Europäischen Union (EU) versuchen den Tierschutz in Versuchslabors zu reduzieren.

 

Die Europäische Kommission hat einen Gesetzesvorschlag vorgelegt, der Tierschutzstandards in Laborexperimenten innerhalb der EU noch niedriger ansetzen könnte.

Gillian Anderson hat sich als große Tierfreundin deshalb im Namen von PETA Europe an alle Mitglieder des Europaparlaments (MEPs) gewandt und sie gebeten, sich für die Tiere und die Wissenschaft einzusetzen und sicherzustellen, dass die Direktive effektive Alternativmethoden zum Tierversuch fördert und Tiere davor bewahrt, schwerwiegendem und lang anhaltendem Schmerz ausgesetzt zu sein.

Ca. 12 Millionen Tiere werden innerhalb Europas jedes Jahr in Laboratorien eingesetzt und getötet.

 


 

Gillian Andersons Brief an die Mitglieder des Europaparlaments im englischen Original:



XXX MEP

European Parliament

Via e-mail

28 April 2009

 

Dear XXX,

I am writing urgently on behalf of PETA to ask you to stop Europe returning to the darkest

days of vivisection. I urge you to act in the interests of compassion when MEPs vote on the

proposed directive on the protection of animals used in scientific procedures. I have been

dismayed to learn of proposals introduced to the draft legislation which will have a

devastating effect on animal welfare and completely prevent governments from effectively

regulating animal experiments on behalf of the citizens of the European Union. Please vote to

protect animals, promote good science and ensure proper oversight in the First Reading of the

proposed directive in May.

To reflect the deep concerns of European citizens, it is vital that the directive at the very least

do the following:

• Promote effective, humane and relevant methods to replace animal experiments. This must

be at the heart of EU policy.

• Ensure that no experiments are conducted on animals unless a licence is issued by

government authorities in advance (this is already the law in many European countries and is

vital for animals' protection).

• Ensure that no animal is ever exposed to severe, prolonged pain.

• Make real progress towards ending the use of all non-human primates in experiments and

take decisive action to completely end the trapping of wild monkeys to supply the vivisection

industry.

We must not return to a "free-for-all" in which there is almost no effective control of what

takes place behind closed laboratory doors. Twelve million dogs, cats, mice, rabbits,

monkeys, horses and other animals suffer and are killed in experiments in the EU every year.

I am certain that the overwhelming majority of EU citizens would be as horrified as I was to

learn that their elected representatives were considering washing their hands of those animals,

leaving millions of them with little or no legal protection whatsoever. Please vote in favour of

progress and compassion.

Please contact me (through PETA) to let me know how you intend to vote on this critical

issue. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Gillian Anderson
