As the first action alert from the campaign we hope to drive home the message to Willmott Dixon, letting them know that their role in the construction of Leicester University's new animal testing laboratory is unacceptable and that we will stop the construction.

Willmott Dixon Are the main contractors so without them the construction of this new lab would be impossible.
At the moment Leicester University kill over 100 animals a day, and they hope to expand this number greatly with the completion of the new lab. Leicester Uni have already been lying in the press and every tine we have exposed them for the liars they are.

The construction of this lab will be stopped, but to do this we need your help. Please circulate this as far and wide as possible and get all your friends to take part.

If you are not yet on our mailing list please email  info@noleicesterlab.co.uk with subscribe as the subject and we will add you to the list.

Please contact Willmott Dixon on the details below to ask them to stop building the new lab - sample letter below.

To Whom It May Concern,

I write to you to express my concern about the role Willmott Dixon are playing in the construction of Leicester University's new animal laboratory. If Willmott Dixon continue in their role as main Contractor on the project then they will be responsible for the deaths of thousands of animals in the future.
It is known that Wllmott Dixon management have sent an internal email in which they state the new lab will only be using rodents, this is a blatant lie as Leicester staff have confirmed to protesters that mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits will be used initially and then there are plans to use dogs in the future. Willmott Dixon cannot know what the building will be used for in the future and should not risk having anything on their conscience, the only way to do this is to stop your contract with Leicester University immediately.
The scientific community has expressed large concerns about the reliability of drugs tested on animals as the genetic make up between species is so hugely different and in one study 80% of GP's expressed concerns about the reliability of animal testing, these are the people who will witness the side effects and are in one of the best positions to judge.
Please Do all you can to get your company to pull out of construction at Leicester University.

Regards,

[insert name]
