The National Anti-Vivisection Alliance (NAVA) is a British animal protection and abolitionist organisation that campaigns to bring an end to research using animals. Founded in 2010, NAVA engages in education, protest, political lobbying and investigations in order to bring about its aim to abolish vivisection and other forms of animal research. The website has been inactive since June 2012 after its chairman, Luke Steele, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for intimidating staff at Harlan laboratories〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Luke Steele: Profile of a Convicted Animal Rights Activist )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Animal Activists' Terror Tactics Drive Staff out of Laboratories )〕 ==Investigations== NAVA have headed a number of high-profile investigations into animal research and the breeding of animals for experimentation. In 2010, an expose was released into the transportation of primates from the Caribbean for use in laboratories. The report focused on US-cargo giant Amerijet International who were, at the time, shipping monkeys to American laboratories. An insight was given into thirteen breaches of the US Animal Welfare Act, which included primates being left without adequate food and water, insufficient provisions leading to the risk of suffocation and other similar allegations of cruelty. Subsequently, the airline placed an embargo on the transportation of animals for research purposes. A 2011 report named 'Born to Die' was produced, focussing on the breeding of beagles for research by Harlan Laboratories. Specific allegations included canines being provided with insufficient exercise, kennel units being improperly maintained and soiled with faeces and members of staff shaving obscenities into the fur of dogs. The report was based on the claims of a NAVA activist who had been working undercover at the facility. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Anti-Vivisection Alliance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
