The animal-right association “Animal Amnesty” announced a national demonstration in Milan on November 30^(th), against animal testing, instrumentally called “vivisection”.
Aim of the demonstration is to bring the participants in front of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacologic Research in order to demonstrate against its director, the “vivisectionist” Silvio Garattini, as stated in the summoning announcement. This is at first an unacceptable personalization of the controversy, aimed to one of the most internetionally distinguished Italian scientists. Actually, however, it is the whole world of biomedic research to be called into question, as the target of advertising and press campaigns aimed to preventing Italian research from helping patients.
For this reason, we express full solidarity to Silvio Garattini and all the researchers from the “Mario Negri” Institute. Also, as representatives of the world of research, Institutions and media, we are ready to testify, even personally, our support at the Institute on November 30^(th), since we are aware that by endorsing the reason of research, we also endorse Italian citizens’ right to health and the future of the Country.
