The BUAV applauds the Commission for taking this once in a generation opportunity to address the suffering caused to the 12m animals used in laboratories across the EU every year by recognising the need to replace its outdated animal testing laws (EC86/609).
The BUAV has long been calling for retrospective assessment and reporting of lab animal suffering so strongly welcomes the recommendations in today’s report from the LASA/APC working group as a step in the right direction.
Home Office Minister Meg Hillier today revealed the extent of animal testing that took place in Scotland in 2007 in a written answer to questions tabled by Labour MP for Ayrshire North & Arran Katy Clark*.
The BUAV today welcomed Gordon Brown’s commitment to boost spending on finding treatments for diseases, but called for it to make a bold commitment to modern, humane research.
