Not me, but I do like humour.












Fingers pinching its mouth open as a tube is pushed down its throat, this disturbing image shows how monkeys are sacrificed to check the safety of new weight-loss drugs. The unprecedented footage supplied to The Mail on Sunday was secretly filmed by a lab worker at two UK testing plants who said he was horrified the 'immense distress' the animals endured. The UK testing facilities he worked at are contracted by major pharmaceutical companies to conduct required safety tests using animals before they can progress to human clinical trials. Both sites are Home Office regulated and operating completely within the law. But the former lab worker said he wanted the footage and details of what happened to be released to ensure an informed public debate on the use of animal testing. He described being 'haunted' by the shrieks and whimpers of animals during the trials, which could last for up to two years. 'My conscience wouldn't let me just quit and walk away,' he said. 'I felt if I was able to provide a window into this world that had been hidden from public view, perhaps it would change.' Campaigners immediately called for the Government to 'accelerate' its pledge to phase out tests using animals, branding the footage 'shocking.'
