Campaigning groups

| Europeans for Medical Progress |
Europeans for Medical Progress is an independent, non-profit-making organisation of scientists and medical
professionals. Their goal is to protect human health by promoting human-specific medical research.
They seem to be very skeptical about the practice of animal testing and are campaigning to get the government to perform proper scientific tests to finally reveal how outdated and potentially deadly animal testing is for human health. |

| The Dr Hadwen Trust |
The Dr Hadwen Trust is the UK's leading medical research charity funding exclusively non-animal research techniques to replace animal experiments,

Personally I have been a big fan of this oraganization and have been inspired by the amazing work they have achieved.

random bits

|
| vegan coast 2 coast |
A pair of Southampton based vegan walkers that are training for a 190 mile walk from one British coast to another. This is so that they can raise some cash for the St Francis Animal Welfare charity that provides shelter for some of the animals discarded by humans. So if you are feeling philanthropic say hi to them or if you want to adopt a random animal then go visit St Francis Animal Welfare.
