Sir,
This has reference to ‘Science fair to ban experiments on animals from 2014’ DE Sept 30.
The decision by Iris Science Fair not to allow any kind of experimentation on animals from 2014 is a welcome move. The decision will certainly help in sparing some animal life which is used ruthlessly by drug manufacturers and cosmetic industry for experimentation. The animal lovers under the banner of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) often raises their voice against cruelty on animals throughout the world and they have succeeded in convincing the world that animal need to be treated compassionately. Today, there is a huge number of people who have turned vegetarian and believe that there is great scope for improving the living conditions of animals species.
The Science students and their teachers are requested to find alternatives to carry on their research work. We need a violence free world to live in.
Yours etc….
