SIR – In recent issues of the Worcester News there have been several articles and letters about good people fund-raising for various charities connected with health and medical research.
Everybody wants to see medical progress, but an increasing number of people are refraining from donating to such charities, because they fear their money will be used to fund animal experiments.
Some of these charities do fund animal tests, but many do not, so it is possible for people to donate to health and research charities without fear that their money will be used to harm animals.
Instead of not giving to any health charities, members of the public can find out whether or not such charities fund animal experiments by consulting a list put together by animal protection group Animal Aid.
This can be found at http://tinyurl.com/AnimalAid-HealthCharities or a printed version can be obtained by calling Animal Aid on 01732 364546.
