Lobby your MP to sign EDM 74
EDM 74 progresses our campaign for an independent inquiry into
the Home Office's failure to regulate Imutran's primate xenotransplantation
research programme. The motion highlights the failure of the Ombudsman
to properly investigate the Home Office. With the Home Office recently
losing a court case brought in very similar circumstances, there
is now even greater pressure on the Home Office and Ombudsman to
atone for their callous neglect of animal welfare regulations.
Please ask your MP to sign EDM 74. You can lobby them directly

Perverse and irrational - the ombudsman's report into illegal
cruelty in animal research
The Ombudsman's investigation has been shambolic and strongly
indicates a bias in favour of the Home Office. In particular, the

of this case, which corresponds to the most severe level of pain
and distress. Click here to read our statement.

animal research Inspectors. Click here

MPs shirk investigation into animal testing scandal
The House of Commons Home Affairs Committee has decided not to
investigate the Home Office's misconduct revealed by the Diaries
of Despair.
Despite Uncaged's intense lobbying, supported by hundreds of members
of the public and several MPs, the Committee has turned its back
on its duty to hold the Government to account for wrongdoing.
The Home Office has not been cleared, and the scandal remains
unresolved. Click here to read our news

New Uncaged report exposes Home Office
Uncaged's new report on the Diaries of Despair scandal has uncovered
yet more systematic misconduct on the part of the Home Office in
its enforcement of animal research regulations.
The report is titled "In
a collapsed state", a double reference: firstly to
damning observations of dying monkeys following pig organ transplant
experiments conducted by Imutran at HLS; and, secondly, to
the regulatory system which is supposed to scrutinise vivisection
proposals. Click here to read on...
