Sequani Animal Testing labs - Suppliers - *updated*
Here3~Now | 21.09.2004 20:58 | Animal Liberation
Sequani Limited are a Contract Research Organisation (CRO) previously named Toxicol Laboratories England and Quintiles UK and have been in existance in Ledbury since the early 1970s.
Sequani Limited practice acute toxicity tests, reproduction toxicology tests, carcinogenicity tests and repeat dose toxicology tests on live animals.
The animal test subjects include beagle dogs, rabbits, genetically stunted pigs known as 'minipigs', transgenic mice, rats and guinea pigs. Below are detailed descriptions of the tests that this company performs.
Acute Toxicity Tests: Acute toxicity studies in mammals are conducted to measure a chemical’s capacity to cause harm or death with a single dose. Chemicals are administered to animals in extremely high doses via at least two of the following routes:
• Oral –– chemicals are pumped directly into the animal’s stomach via a force-feeding tube or syringe.
• Skin –– chemicals are painted onto the shaved and abraded skin on the animal’s back.
• Inhalation –– animals are either confined in an inhalation chamber or restrained with a breathing apparatus fixed over their mouths.
Acute toxicity studies inflict hideous suffering on animals, who may endure severe abdominal pain; diarrhea; bleeding from the nose, mouth and genitals; convulsions; seizures and paralysis before they are poisoned to death or killed by the experimenter.
Reproduction Toxicology: Reproductive toxicity studies in mammals are conducted to measure a chemical’s effects on reproductive organs and fertility. Such tests are based on a repeated dose toxicity study in rodents, during which animals are examined for changes in sexual behaviour, sperm and egg production and fertilisation, development in the uterus and after birth, and hormonal activity. At the conclusion of the study the animal’s genitals and reproductive organs are often removed for further study. Animals in reproductive toxicity studies suffer not only from the toxic effects of the chemical under investigation, but also as a result of frequent and often stressful handling, restraint and inhumane force-feeding practices.
Carcinogenicity tests: Carcinogenicity studies are conducted to measure a chemical’s cancer-causing potential following lifelong exposure. Carcinogenicity studies call for the use of both rats and mice and can kill more than 800 animals per test. Animals in these studies are exposed to toxic chemicals for their entire lives through their food, their skin or the air they breathe. Carcinogenicity studies can go on for up to five years, during which animals can endure extended suffering from chemical- poisoning as their bodies are overcome by tumours and cancerous growths.
Repeat dose Toxicology: Repeated dose toxicity studies expose animals to repeated low doses of chemicals for one to three months to measure the effects of multiple chemical exposures on organs such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, heart and nervous system. Chemicals are usually force-fed to animals orally, although skin and inhalation routes are also used. These studies are typically conducted using two different species of animal, one rodent (rat, mouse, etc.) and one nonrodent (usually dogs). Repeated dose studies are highly stressful and cruel, as animals are subjected to frequent handling, restraint and inhumane force-feeding practices, in addition to suffering the toxic effects of the chemical under investigation. The animals can suffer excessive salivation, anaemia, muscle weakness, hair loss, internal organ damage, pilo-erection (hair standing on end), vomiting (in dogs), diarrhoea, coma and even death.
Anti-vivisection protests have been held at this laboratory for over 20 years. The current campaign against Sequani limited focuses not only on the lab itself but also on the companies that provide services to the lab.
If you are interested in campaigning against Sequani laboratories, be it leafletting and helping to inform the public, writing letters, holding stalls and fundraising, attending the protests outside the lab or joining the protests at the premises of companies that supply the lab, please get in touch.
For more information on the campaign against Sequani limited please email

*Worcestershire Animal Info has taken over from the now Defunct People Against Cruelty to Animals - West Midlands website. The former name of that group and its website, have now been dropped for security reasons. Sequani limited had no hand in the deletion of the PACA website or the deletion of the umbrella name for campaigners 'PACA - West Midlands'. Details of supplier companies to Sequani are constantly updated and freely available on request from the WAI email address and elsewhere on the internet. The campaign against Sequani limited will never be over until Sequani stop animal testing altogether, or are closed down altogether*

Couriers, haulage firms, builders, plumbers, electricians, vehicle rental firms, cleaners, gas, chemical and lab equipment suppliers, anyone that does business with Sequani ltd, all play their part in strengthening the backbone of this death factory.
It's up to all of us who care about the animals that are suffering and dying in unnecessary, unscientific experiments at Sequani labs to help persuade these companies to cut their business ties with animal cruelty by stopping doing business with Sequani ltd.
If you would like to play a part in the campaign against Sequani animal testing labs but can't make the demos, please write to, email or phone the companies listed on this page and ask them (politely) to consider withdrawing their business association with Sequani Ltd on ethical, moral and compassionate grounds.

INFORMATION AS A WEAPON:
Because of the highly paranoid and secretive nature of Sequani Ltd, other companies that are involved with them may not be fully aware of what goes on behind Sequanis closed doors ... It's time to LET THEM KNOW! Five companies that have severed their ties with Sequani said they didn't have a clue what went on there!
Remember that every email sent, every letter written and every phone call made to these companies is in itself an extremely effective way to protest!
TAKING PRECAUTIONS:
Use the prefix 141 before ringing these companies if you want your anonymity kept intact, better still, use a public phone box and the prefix. More than two emails can be classed as harassment (depending on what you say in the mail) try and use different email accounts or you could use a computer in a public library.
THEIR ONLY HOPE, YOU!:
You are the laboratory animals last and only hope. They sit in cages and pens waiting for that terrifying moment when the vivisectors come for them to poison them and tear them apart. We cannot fail them. If you care about the animals please get on to these companies right away.
We can safely forget about government and authority lending a helping hand to aid those that are suffering and dying at the hands of big business.
Only together, can we stop or at least slow the murder rate down at Sequani limited and every other animal torturing centre and make life very uncomfortable and costworthy for the animal abusers. Please, Just Do It.
Sequani Limited practice acute toxicity tests, reproduction toxicology tests, carcinogenicity tests and repeat dose toxicology tests on live animals.
The animal test subjects include beagle dogs, rabbits, genetically stunted pigs known as 'minipigs', transgenic mice, rats and guinea pigs. Below are detailed descriptions of the tests that this company performs.
