Stop Vivisection Canada! Campaign: 5 Ways to Cruelty Free Research
1. Access to Information
Requests for information to universities and the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) have been denied. The CCAC was incorporated as a non-profit and independent body in 1982. They manage a voluntary control program. In Canada taxpayers and donors cannot get information that is available under federal disclosure laws for US vivisection laboratories. This includes information about the research laboratories, the experimental procedures, the number of animals and the copies of CCAC inspection reports. In addition, the US Animal Welfare Act mandates research standards. In Canada i t is out of sight, out of mind for the multi-billion dollar vivisection industry. The Canadian government must permit greater access to Information about vivisection and implement a phase-out plan to appease all.

2. “ALERT FOR LIFE”
A Lifeforce on line Canadian Whistle Blower notices about how to report abusive experiments with animals and people.

4. Glass Walls Challenge
This is a challenge to open the labs to show the public ALL experiments on animals. Let the public decide. It has always been the goal of Lifeforce to show people what happens behind closed doors. The taxpayers and those who donate are entitled to the information in order to make informed decisions.

5. “Stop Vivisection Canada!” Postcard Lobby for Cruelty Free Research
The Lifeforce post card campaign urges politicians to give taxpayers greater access to vivisection information and to set a goal of 10% reduction of “animal models” annually. Canadians can send this On-Line Postcard to their Federal Member of Parliament and Provincial Government politicians. Post cards will also be available at public events for Canadians to send to their MP at no cost.
See POSTCARD – Stop Vivisection Canada!
STOP VIVISECTION CANADA! POSTCARD.

MP ADDRESSES
The Stop Vivisection Canada post card should also be sent to your Provincial politicians. You can simply change the Dear MP. Just Google your Provincial Government to find your representative.
People from other countries can send the online post card to Prime Minister Stephen Harper at pm@pm.gc.ca
And please pass the post card on to others.
Dear: ______________________________________________
I urge you to protect people and animals. An inadequate peer-review process governs animal use in science in Canada. Stop the increase of animal experiments by phasing out at least 10% annually. Until then the government must provide greater Access to Vivisection Information as done in the US.
The use of “animal models” of human maladies is inhumane and scientifically fallacious. First, the actual human illness or injury is not being studied. Fake injuries and/or symptoms are artificially induced into the animal model. Secondly, animals respond diferently to methodologies tested between and within species.
This phase out period will give notice to the vivisection industry and save scarce health care funds.
