What better way than a massive animal victory to get 2017 kicked off?! The Nertherlands has passed a motion in parliament to completely ban animal testing by the year 2025. This is seriously monumental news with The Netherlands being the FIRST country in the world to set a time frame for the complete ban on non-human testing. Several men and women who have previously worked in animal testing have come forward to state that they did not believe animal testing was accurate. Animal testing is conducted in various forms and for various reasons. Cosmetics companies, shampoos, cleaning products, and most notably, disease research. With a complete ban on all of these, hundreds of thousands of animals will be spared a life of torture including being infected by diseases such as cancer. Although it is slightly hard to fathom why it will take 8 years to fully phase out animal testing, what's truly important is that it is being phased out. It is hoped that other countries will follow The Netherland's lead and work towards banning animal testing altogether.
I think that this further proves Canada needs to step up in the animal rights department. We now have countries working towards banning animal testing yet I can't seem to convince anyone in my own country that having sexual attraction to animals is wrong. Cripes! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NETHERLANDS FOR BEING TRAIL BLAZERS IN THE RIGHTS OF ANIMALS AND AN INSPIRATION TO ACTIVISTS ACROSS THE GLOBE! HAPPY VEG
