The petition letter

Listen to your people: Make Vivisection History!

Gentili Signore e Signori,

We believe that 86% of Italians, that is over 4/5ths of the citizens of your country, are against vivisection and want to ban experiments on animals.

This is good news, and good news finds a way to be heard worldwide. There is already a groundswell of global support for Italy, from concerned people and organizations in many countries who applaud such a ban.

And if Italy leads, the world will follow.

Are companies more important than the people who voted you in? Please do the right thing. We do not need to tell you what you already know: that this is 2012, and vivisection is redundant.

We will continue to watch and see if your government will lean towards what the Italian people want, versus what the big companies want.

Yours respectfully,

[Your name]

Thank you for your signature!

Would you please also help this campaign to succeed by sharing it with your friends and networks?

Together, we can force change!

Suject: Close down Green Hill

Dear Honorary Consul or Ambassador of Italy,

In Italy the struggle for Green Hill to cease its activities has already lasted a few years.

Green Hill, located in Montichiari (Brescia – Italy), breeds beagles destined to vivisection labs and is Europe’s biggest breeder of dogs for the research industry. This company is owned by an American corporation called Marshall BioResources.

More than 250 dogs each month are sold to laboratories. These dogs are born to suffer and die. The 5 sheds of this breeding farm house as many as 2500 adult dogs and numerous livers. A concentration camp for nonhuman animals made of sealed aseptic sheds with no outdoor spaces, fresh air and natural light.

On Saturday, April 28th, a pacific march on Green Hill took place with over 1,000 participants from across Italy, and an unaccounted number of beagles were rescued at the end of the protest. This action led to the arrest of 12 people, released after 48 hours and now pending trial.

The pictures of the puppies gently lifted over the barbed wire have spread across the globe. These images have excited and moved millions of people, who are now aware of the reality of this concentration camp and want the abolition of the cruel practice of vivisection.

A first step could come from the Italian Senate’s approval of restrictive applications of Directive 2010/63/EU, which includes a ban on breeding and selling dogs, cats and primates for scientific purposes.

On May 9th, the Italian Senate Committee XIV will meet to vote on these amendments. On May 8th, 2012 almost 30 countries worldwide and more than 30 cities in Italy were simultaneously hosting protests and information stalls for the “International Day of Action against Green Hill and Vivisection”.

All these people ask just one thing: the closure of Green Hill and all other lab animal breeders in Italy, as a step towards the complete abolition of vivisection.

We kindly appeal to you, asking to inform the Italian Government on the will expressed by the majority of its citizens and the citizens of all nations.

We kindly ask for your support as representative of this will of the people, since 86% of Italians are against vivisection (eurispes poll 2011) and want Green Hill closed down as soon as possible.

Respectfully yours,

[Your name]
