We strongly encourage our supporters to have their voice heard and ask that you consider including your thoughts on:
- The plan to accelerate the regulatory acceptance of animal-free methods in toxicity testing.
- The plan to support, regulate and encourage the release of eligible animals after study to experienced, reputable and recognized organizations in Canada.
- Allocate funding to individuals and organizations who can and will move Canada towards the accepted use of animal free science.
This is a chance for us as Canadians to make a difference for animals and humans. In our opinion, this is a societal issue, not just an animal rights or animal welfare issue – the animal use model does not yield the results most people think it does and, in the process, harms animals.
LET’S SPEAK UP!
