| | But it isn't chance or bad luck that keeps people trapped in bitter, unrelenting poverty. It's man-made factors like a glaringly unjust global trade system, a debt burden so great that it suffocates any chance of recovery and insufficient and ineffective aid.
Back in 2001 the governments of the eight wealthiest nations on the planet said that they were going to do something about it - in what was seen as a breakthrough, they promised to halve world poverty by 2015.
Four years later the world is failing dismally to reach those targets.

PETA People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
www.peta.org |
| People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than 800,000 members, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. Founded in 1980, PETA is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.
PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs.
PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. |

| | We strongly believe that animal testing harms human health and ultimately can kill people. We are appalled these companies claim to speak for us. THEY DON'T. We need to see an end to all animal tests if we are to see real medical progress.
We would like to see medical research move forward and adopt real science NOT vivisection. There are many alternatives to animal testing, these alternatives (highlighted on our website) save human life unlike vivisection which can destroy it. We oppose vivisection on scientific and moral grounds. SIAV is completely independent of any other group and our funding comes solely from public donations. |
