“World Week for Animals falls during the week that surrounds April 24 each year. This year, it will be observed from April 22 to 28. Laboratory animals are typically subjected to a variety of treatments by scientists, resulting in millions of animals suffering and dying each year.

Although improved procedures are being introduced into laboratories to replace animal testing, some antiquated laws still require animal testing before a product may be introduced to the market. This week raises awareness about the brutality that animals face in laboratories and persuades the government to fund advanced experimental procedures that are more relevant to humans and safer for animals.”
