SABRE Research UK is an independent charity that represents the interests of patients and research volunteers by calling for rigorous scientific methods to assess the medical value of research involving animals (animal studies, animal experiments). The charity has no links to any political parties, animal lobby groups or the pharmaceutical industry. We are petitioning the Prime Minister to improve the methods used to evaluate the validity and relevance of animal experiments.
