      hi Afaf,

      I don’t and I’m not sad about that. I really like animals (apart from ones that can fly) so, although I am not against animal testing, I’m really glad I don’t have to do it day-to-day.

      Cats are brilliant:)

      Hi Afaf,
      We do, unfortunately – it’s a necessary part of the process that we have to show something will work in an animal before we can give it to a human. there are some thing we just cannot do in people. It’s not something we ever do lightly, and the animals are very well cared for by specialised people and vets, and we only use the absolute minimum number we need.
