Petition Ban commercial breeding for laboratories. Implement reform to approve & use NAMs
Revoke all licences (PEL) for commercial breeders of laboratory animals. Require all Project Licences (PPLs) applications be reviewed by an independent Non Animal Methods (NAMs) specialist committee. Revise s24 ASPA 1986 to allow review. Urge International Regulators to accept & promote NAMs.
More details
We believe the use of animals is scientifically, ethically, morally and financially (taxpayer funded) unjustifiable.
Defined in 1959, UK law enshrines the principles of the 3Rs. The UK must abandon these old principles and focus on the development and use of Non Animal Methods.
Having an independent NAMs specialist committee review applications for Project Licences (PPLs) prior to their approval, so that a licence is only granted if there is no replacement method.
Commercial breeders of laboratory animals are profit rather than animal-welfare focused.
