I(dismayed from Sittingbourne) just got the latest Stop Press from Redwood where I can read about their "Marketing Managers, grueling trek in aid of Asthma UK". Asthma UK fund animal research -their blurb reads:
"An important aspect of the medical research funded by Asthma UK is about understanding the mechanisms of asthma, and some of this cannot be done without the use of animals.
Asthma UK shares people's concerns about the well-being of animals in medical research. The Charity only funds research involving animals if all other possibilities have been carefully considered, and the research is likely to give essential information that could not be achieved by alternative methods.
All Asthma UK supported researchers and their projects are required to be licensed by the Home Office. Each application is carefully screened and reviewed by a group of scientific and medical experts and is selected based on the direct relevance to asthma and the impact on the quality of life of people with asthma. As such, both the grant application and the proposed research project must meet Asthma UK's strict criteria and adhere to the Home Office's guidelines on the use of animals in research.
Asthma UK supports the Home Office's commitment to the 3Rs, which serves to refine experimental techniques used on animals, reduce the number of animals used in research and replace animals in research wherever possible."
