Hi

Hi my name is Karen, I am thirteen years old and I am very passionate about animals.
I want to be a vet when I am older, so animal welfare is an important issue to me.
I strongly believe animal welfare should be important to our community and the issue should be raised.  When you think about "community" the first thing that will come to your mind is us, the care and safety of us, but what about the other creatures in this world who can't speak up for themselves and don't have a say, they are part of our community as well aren't they?

We need to step up and start to take notice and stop being so selfish and thinking that the community is just us. We need to open our eyes to the problem around us - that is animal testing.
