Thank you CHERY PHALABORWA for this great initiative of a blanket drive for our furry friends.

YOU are heroes without capes. 🐾

Members of the public and our followers, please be so kind and show your support to an important blanket drive because as you know the day and nights are not so warm anymore.

Just like us, some animals gets cold easier than others, especially our short hair breeds.

We have to ask: Where should we draw the line between progress and ethics? Many people feel more comfortable with research on mice 🐁than on dogs🐕 or monkeys🐒.

Have you ever wondered why that’s so? Perhaps it’s because we view dogs as companion animals. Maybe we believe that monkeys have a richer emotional life than mice. 🤔

It's undeniable that animal research has been key to developing life-saving vaccines, cancer treatments, and countless other medical advances.🩺

But, as science advances, so does our understanding of animal sentience. We now know that animals experience fear, joy, and pain, much like we do. Today, numerous technological alternatives exist that often reduce, and sometimes even replace, the need for animal testing.🙌

We believe it is time to rethink our approach to using animals in research. ⛔

🗣️It’s a complex conversation, but we feel it is one worth having. Our Animal Ethics Unit is committed to exploring and prioritising all alternatives to animal research.💙

What do you think?
