New hi-tech procedures, which replace the need for animal testing, offer real hope of humane
scientific research.
Naturewatch firmly believes medical research involving animal experiments will only end if alternative, non-animal procedures are successfully developed.
This will only happen if animal alternatives receive support from industry, regulatory and governing bodies.
- Naturewatch lobbies MPs for measures that will encourage the use of non-animal alternatives in scientific procedures, and halt increases in the numbers of animals used. To find out more about EDM 2183 and EDM 545, and how you can help click here.
- Industry - Failing the 3R's?
While some companies are promoting animal alternatives, through participating in the European Partnership for Animal Alternatives, other hugely profitable multi-nationals aren't yet members.......Find out who they are and how you can help.
