    If testing on animals can stop heart disease being Britain's biggest killer then I support it.

    I've just made an extra deposit into my 123 account to help them.


    I wonder if they want our shep?.

    I do like Sanatnder, the girls in the branch are so nice when I pop in but I was upset to hear that they are giving money (over £1 million) to a charity that undertakes medical tests on animals.

    Their national charity for 2015 is British Heart Foundation and I double checked and they clearly state that whilst they look for alternatives they do fund medical experiments on animals.

    I can't believe they are so heartless. Its such a bother closing my accounts but I have been left with no option.

    Well I may have to look at going elsewhere. That info has taken me by surprise and almost made me choke on my burger.

    .......

    Surely an unfortunate choice of words?

    I saw that and presumed it must be a wind-up.....
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    "Animals in Medical testing are treated far better than most humans" are you serious.?

    Yes as there are strict UK and EU laws regarding the treatment of animals used in Medical testing!!
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:
