TO: All People Who Care

I am a private individual posting this message to help
Laboratory Animals. I apologize if this message is out of
place in this group but I think you need to know this.

A ?new ?European ?Chemical ?Testing ?Policy ?called
REACH has now ?been ?finalised ?by ?the ?European
Union. Under these proposals ?Chemicals ?of ?every
kind ?- from those used in industrial processes to the
ingredients of consumer products - will ?be ?tested on
Millions of animals from mice to fish to dogs, causing
untold suffering.

If you believe that REACH should make more use of
Alternative Testing to test its Chemicals then please take
action now.

If you are a European citizen please contact your local
papers and ?own ?MEP asking ?them ?to promote ?the
development of humane ?non-animal testing ?methods
under the REACH legislation, which is the best hope we
have for sparing animals the misery of a testing laboratory.

A sample letter can be found at the BUAV (British Union
for the Abolition of Vivisection) website atwww.BUAV.org
(Select Campaigns, Chemical Testing, ?Get Active then
Writing to the local press).

For ?all ?Non-European ?members, you ?can still ?help.
Please tell all your colleagues and friends in the UK and
Europe about REACH.

Everyone can help and you can make a difference.

Thank You

I think the chemicals should be tested on cross posters.

==============

I think NG Netcops trump cross posters.

Of course you would.
You have a lot less interest in boating than you do in snip

So sorry Charlie.........but my interest in boating in the midst of
winter is pretty low. Right now temps are in the single digits, there
is over a foot of snow on the ground and my boat has been tucked away
and hibernating since late Fall '06.

Not all of us eat, drink and sleep boating like you apparently do.
Heck, there are several active members in this NG who are non boaters
and don't even own a boat.

I guess I could repost some JD Power rating spam, but who needs
that.......eh? ;-)
