Subject: Stop Supporting Inhumane Spinal Cord Experiments on Animals

January 18, 2013

Dear Mr. Hansen:

Over 750 people have now signed the petition to ask you to stop supporting spinal cord experiments on animals.(Change.org Petition.) Will you stop?

In Respect For All Life,

Dear Mr. Hansen:

In another Care 2 petition (Care2 Petition.) to you there has been 1,128 signatures from our goal of 1,000.

Dear Rick Hansen:

I hope that during your next 25 years of raising money for spinal cord research (SCR) we will see the end of inhumane, scientifically fallacious spinal cord experiments on animals. It was 25 years ago when Lifeforce, a Vancouver based ecology and animal rights organization, gave you extensive data about the failure of “animal models” but you went on to fund animal experiments. Your Boards have had many vivisectors directing your funding priorities. You have raised millions of dollars for SCR as the “Man in Motion”. Your "dream" for a cure is a nightmare for animals.

It is time to stop the barbaric experiments that have been repeated for over 50 years. New technologies, clinical/ epidemiological studies permit humane studies with humans. That is how breakthroughs are discovered!

Once again, will you clearly state your position. The public has a right to know.
