I am writing to ask you to refrain from testing on animals chemicals about which there is already a huge body of research.I cannot understand the rational behind putting animals through suffering leading even to death to test chemicals already tested.If you have any contact with anyones family pets , I request you to ask yourself if you would be willing to put a pet through this process? I would be grateful for your response explaining why this testing takes place and if it can be ethically justified .Would any religious system condone it? For the sake of compassion I request you to do all in your power to prevent these tests. Yours faithfully, Sarah Heald
