  • Animal Rights Movement
    Animal Rights Movement The Animal Protection Movement. Prevention of cruelty to animals became an important movement in early 19th Century England, where it grew alongside the humanitarian current that advanced human rights, including the anti-slavery movement and later the movement for woman suffrage. The first anti-cruelty bill, intended to stop bull-baiting, was introduced in Parliament in 1800. In 1822 Colonel Richard Martin succeeded in passing an act in the House of Commons preventing cruelty to such larger domestic animals as horses and cattle; two years later he organized the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to help enforce the law. Queen Victoria commanded the addition of the prefix "Royal" to the Society in 1840. Following the British model, Henry Bergh organized the American SPCA in New York in 1866 after returning from his post in St. Petersburg as secretary to the American legation in Russia; he hoped it would become national in scope, but the ASPCA remained primarily an animal shelter program for New York City. Other SPCAs and Humane Societies were founded in the U.S. beginning in the late 1860s (often with support from abolitionists) with groups in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and San Francisco among the first. Originally concerned with enforcing anti-cruelty laws, they soon began running animal shelters along the lines of a model developed in Philadelphia. The American Humane Association (AHA), with divisions for children and animals, was founded in 1877, and emerged as the leading national advocate for animal protection and child protection services. As the scientific approach to medicine expanded, opposition grew to the use of animals in medical laboratory research -- particularly in the era before anesthetics and pain-killers became widely available.

The animal welfare approach, which focuses on regulating animal use, maintains that humans have an obligation to treat animals "humanely" but may use them for human purposes.2 The animal rights approach, which focuses on abolishing animal use, argues that animals have inherent moral value that is inconsis- tent with us treating them as property.3 The animal welfare approach is the dominant model of ani- mal advocacy in the United States.4 Animal experimentation provides a fertile ground for testing this model because a unique confluence of factors make experimentation appear susceptible to meaningful regulation.

The Australian rabbit meat industry is a relatively unexplored area of animal protection scholarship. Of particular significance is the fact that, in contrast to the move towards ‘free range’ for other domestic species used for meat, there is no such thing, nor it seems will there ever be, ‘free range’ domestic rabbit meat.

    World-leading science World-leading ethics ANIMAL-FREE IN VITRO SAFETY AND EFFICACY TESTING SERVICES FOR THE COSMETICS INDUSTRY 02 “We met at the University of Nottingham in 1996, so we’ve been colleagues and friends for over 25 years. From an early stage in our careers, we arrived at the conclusion that animal testing poses not only ethical issues, but scientific ones too – so we teamed up to run the European business of a US-based company providing human cell culture systems to scientists. Data from animal tests, most of which had never been validated, simply was not accurate enough to predict human safety to an acceptable standard. In 2008 we took the plunge and founded XCellR8, with a mission to XCellR8 the world’s transition to 100% animal-free testing. Over the years, we have built a reputation for delivering high quality science. We provide OECD Test Guidelines in full compliance with GLP, enabling ingredient manufacturers to meet regulatory requirements in their safety assessments. Our additional portfolio of innovative non-regulatory tests helps build a weight-of-evidence on safety and efficacy and supports new product development. We love getting to know and working closely with our clients, Our founders Dr Carol Treasure helping to design testing strategies as unique as every new product or ingredient and Bushra Sim designed for the vibrant cosmetics industry. One of the aspects we are most proud of is our animal-product-free (APF) approach, which makes us globally unique among regulatory testing labs.

  • Alternative to Current Uses of Animals In
    SECTI ION Overview ANIMALS ARE USED extensively in laboratory procedures, especially in biomedical research, toxicity testing, and education. Estimates of current usage range from about 1 2 twenty million to seventy million animals per year in the United States alone. · Many of these animals suffer severely. Some are deliberately sickened, injured, or killed. Others suffer from neglect, ignorance, indifference, or outright cruelty. No one wants to see animals suffer, regardless of one's opinion of the ethics of animal research. For that reason alone, alternative methods should be developed to replace the use of animals in laboratory procedures, to reduce animal use, or to refine procedures so that pain or suffering is reduced. Replacement, reduction, and refinement constitute the three Rs of the "alternatives approach" to laboratory practices. The ultimate goal of this approach is the complete replacement of laboratory animals with non-animal methods. I.
