The 3Rs of Animal Experiments
Holding the Government to account
Naturewatch is strongly in favour of the 3Rs, as we believe that it provides
a viable framework by which the use of animals in research may be improved and
ultimately phased out. This is therefore an evolutionary approach rather than a
revolutionary one. These pages will act as a guide to the issues.
