The point of this page is to ask the public and the U of T community to speak out against this unnecessary and inhumane research and testing.
One way is to provide information to the moderators of this site regarding the details of experimentation so that we may investigate cases of abuse against animals and make the public aware of these abuses. If you are involved in research or know about it at UofT, contact < This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it > or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Another thing to do is to send an email to the U of T Governing Council and Research Ethics faculty and staff, urging them to end all experimentation and research using animals (live or dead) and instead use more ethically sound and proven alternative testing methods. Alternative methods for education regarding animal biology have been devised as well, and should be used.
Here is the contact information for Governing Council. Direct your emails to the entire Gov. Council (all their emails are placed, side by side below, for easy cut and paste):
