	British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV) is a pressure group based near Highbury Corner in London, United Kingdom.
		BUAV was founded in 1898 by Frances Power Cobbe, campaigning at first against the use of dogs in vivisection, and came close to achieving success with the 1919 Dogs (Protection) Bill, which almost became law.
		The BUAV was also closely involved in the lobbying which led to the adoption in the European Union of the 7th Amendment to the Cosmetics Directive, which will effectively ban both the testing of cosmetics products and their ingredients on animals and also the sale of products which have been animal-tested anywhere in the world.

	PARAGON REVIEW: ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF THE BUAV
		In August of this year the BUAV were invited to send a delegate to the second meeting of the International Congress of the World League for the Protection of Animals against Vivisection, held in Frankfurt.
		Although the BUAV were at this time advocating their own abolition bill to their supporters in the Houses of Parliament they co-operated with the joint proposals.
		The campaign, lead by BUAV and Compassion in World Farming, challenged the belief by the European Patent Office (EPO) that the exploitation of the 'invention' was not contrary to morality, something expressly prohibited under the European Patent Convention.

		This exposé comes on the heels of a statement by British Prime Minister Tony Blair in support of Cambridge University and its efforts to build a new primate research facility, which has been opposed by the BUAV and others.

		The BUAV states that the Government's position of underestimating lab animal suffering is not only morally wrong, it serves to mislead the public about what animals suffer in UK labs and it is also against the law.
		The BUAV contends that in the case of the Cambridge experiments the Home Secretary clearly ignored obvious suffering - such as water deprivation and distressing training tasks - and downplayed other suffering, with the result that he breached the key cost:benefit test in the 1986 Act.

	Dr Hadwen
		Having practiced vivisection in the course of his early studies, he soon recognized that practice as a medical aberration, no less dangerous than the practice of vaccination.
		He became famous nationwide when he delivered Gloucester of an epidemic of smallpox in a shorter time than any other British city, by ruling out all vaccination and introducing strict measures of hygiene and isolation of the infected instead; which of course won him the hatred and the abuse of the profit-oriented medical establishment.
		In 1910 he accepted the Presidency of the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection (BUAV), which under his competent and flamboyant leadership quickly grew to be, up to his death in 1932, the largest and most authoritative anti-vivisection society in the world.
