    An Estimate of the Number of Animals Used for Scientific Purposes

    Research Article Alternatives to Laboratory Animals 1–18 ª The Author(s) 2020 An Estimate of the Number of Animals Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions Used for Scientific Purposes Worldwide DOI: 10.1177/0261192919899853 in 2015 journals.sagepub.com/home/atl Katy Taylor and Laura Rego Alvarez Abstract Few attempts have been made to estimate the global use of animals in experiments, since our own estimated figure of 115.2 million animals for the year 2005. Here, we provide an update for the year 2015. Data from 37 countries that publish national statistics were standardised against the definitions of ‘animals’ and ‘procedures’ used in the European Union (EU) Directive 2010/63/EU. We also applied a prediction model, based on publication rates, to estimate animal use in a further 142 countries. This yielded an overall estimate of global animal use in scientific procedures of 79.9 million animals, a 36.9% increase on the equivalent estimated figure for 2005, of 58.3 million animals. We further extrapolated this estimate to obtain a more comprehensive final global figure for the number of animals used for scientific purposes in 2015, of 192.1 million. This figure included animals killed for their tissues, normal and genetically modified (GM) animals without a harmful genetic mutation that are used to maintain GM strains and animals bred for laboratory use but not used. Since the 2005 study, there has been no evident increase in the number of countries publishing data on the numbers of animals used in experiments. Without regular, accurate statistics, the impact of efforts to replace, reduce and refine animal experiments cannot be effectively monitored.

    Derogatory Discourses of Veganism and the Reproduction of Speciesism in UK 1 National Newspapers Bjos 1348 134..152

    The British Journal of Sociology 2011 Volume 62 Issue 1 Vegaphobia: derogatory discourses of veganism and the reproduction of speciesism in UK 1 national newspapers bjos_1348 134..152 Matthew Cole and Karen Morgan Abstract This paper critically examines discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers in 2007. In setting parameters for what can and cannot easily be discussed, domi- nant discourses also help frame understanding. Discourses relating to veganism are therefore presented as contravening commonsense, because they fall outside readily understood meat-eating discourses. Newspapers tend to discredit veganism through ridicule, or as being difficult or impossible to maintain in practice. Vegans are variously stereotyped as ascetics, faddists, sentimentalists, or in some cases, hostile extremists. The overall effect is of a derogatory portrayal of vegans and veganism that we interpret as ‘vegaphobia’. We interpret derogatory discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers as evidence of the cultural reproduction of speciesism, through which veganism is dissociated from its connection with debates concerning nonhuman animals’ rights or liberation. This is problematic in three, interrelated, respects. First, it empirically misrepresents the experience of veganism, and thereby marginalizes vegans. Second, it perpetuates a moral injury to omnivorous readers who are not presented with the opportunity to understand veganism and the challenge to speciesism that it contains. Third, and most seri- ously, it obscures and thereby reproduces

Knowles School of Veterinary Science, University of Bristol, Langford, Bristol BS40 5DU, UK; [email protected] (A.G.); [email protected] (T.G.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-074-7419-2392 Received: 18 April 2019; Accepted: 27 May 2019; Published: 30 May 2019 Simple Summary: Veterinarians play a vital role in safeguarding the welfare of animals and protecting public health during the slaughter of farm animals for human consumption. With the continued increase in the number of animals slaughtered for religious communities in the UK, this study evaluates the perception and level of understanding of religious slaughter issues by veterinary students at various stages of their studies. The results showed a significant effect of the year of study on respondents’ understanding of the regulations governing Halal slaughter and other related issues. Whilst the prevalence of vegetarianism and veganism were higher than the general UK population, the majority of respondents were meat eaters who indicated that they prefer meat from humanely slaughtered (pre-stunned) animals, irrespective of whether slaughter was performed with an Islamic prayer (Halal) or not. Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the perception and level of understanding of religious slaughter issues, and the regulations governing the process, amongst veterinary students in England. A total of 459 veterinary students in different levels, or years of study (years 1–5), were surveyed.

    About Animal Aid Animal Aid Is the Largest Animal Rights Pressure Group in the UK

    About Animal Aid Animal Aid is the largest animal rights pressure group in the UK. The society campaigns against all forms of animal abuse and promotes a cruelty-free lifestyle. Animal Aid’s origins The story of Animal Aid began in 1977, when school teacher Jean Pink read a book by philosopher Peter Singer called ‘Animal Liberation’. This book exposed what was happening to animals in laboratories and factory farms. Jean couldn’t get the images of animal suffering out of her head and she decided she had to do something about it. She produced leaflets and petitions at home, and Target groups recruited a small group of supporters to hand them out The key target groups for Animal Aid’s campaigns are: to the public.

  • A Pocket Guide to Veganism

    A Pocket Guide to Veganism

    A Pocket Guide to Veganism What is veganism? Veganism is a way of living that seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, cruelty to and exploitation of animals. In dietary terms, this means avoiding eating animal products like meat, dairy, eggs and honey. Why Vegan? It’s better for animals! The majority of animals who are bred for consumption spend their short lives on a factory farm, before facing a terrifying death. Chickens like Bramble here spend their lives in tiny, windowless sheds. She had no access to natural light, fresh air, or even grass. Thankfully she was saved from slaughter. But many others aren’t as lucky. It helps the planet! Animal farming is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all motorised transport combined. In addition, it is responsible for vast amounts of deforestation and water pollution around the world. The carbon footprint of a vegan diet is as much as 60% smaller than a meat-based one and 24% smaller than a vegetarian one. It’s healthy! You can obtain all of the nutrients your body needs from a vegan diet. As such, the British Dietetics Association and American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (along with many other similar organisations around the world) all support a well-planned vegan diet as being healthy and suitable for all age groups. Shopping It has never been easier to be vegan, with plant-based foods now available in every single supermarket. Thanks to Animal Aid’s #MarkItVegan campaign, the vast majority of supermarkets now clearly label their own-brand vegan products! Brands to look out for..

    The Case Against Animal Experiments

    The Case Against Animal Experiments Animal experiments are both unethical and unscientific. Animals in laboratories endure appalling suffering, such as being deliberately poisoned, brain-damaged and subjected to inescapable electric shocks. The pain and misery inflicted on the victims is enough, on its own, to make vivisection worthy of public condemnation. But animal “ “ experiments are also bad science, since the results they produce cannot be reliably translated to humans. They therefore offer little hope of advancing medical progress.

As children we may have attached a sense of place to some small parcel of ground, be it a backyard or an open meadow blooming with the rainbow color of wildflowers. The rest of our lives then build upon those early impressions, layer upon layer of geographic recognition. Year after year we go back to a stream, yet each time we fish there we read something new into the landscape. It may even be some picnic spot with a backdrop of mountain majesty we can still see in our mind even with our eyes closed. These places uplift our spirit, but we are hard-pressed to put into words exactly how or why we feel the way we do. The comforting sense of familiarity a prominent granite peak holds for us never quite gets communicated beyond the photo image. “Like all real treasures of the mind, perception can be split into infinitely small fractions without losing its quality.

After joining PETA in 1984, Joan took part in many of PETA’s campaigns and has Joan Price made a difference through effective letter-writing. When PETA asked Joan to take action in a case involving her alma mater, Arizona State University (ASU), she did not hesitate. Joan immediately contacted the editors of her local newspaper, The Arizona Republic, to tell them about the cruel and deadly experiments taking place inside ASU’s anatomy and physiology classrooms. Then and Now: As a child, Joan would drape toilet paper over the side of the bathtub to allow spiders who had fallen in to escape. “If the spider got away, it was fortunate—if not, [the spider] was augustus squashed by a family member or friend and I received ridicule from all sides,” says Joan. But now, children who care about animals are more likely to be admired than mocked. “[B]ecause of PETA, people CLUB are beginning to realize that compassion for animals is identical with goodness of human character.” Issue No. 53 | Summer 2010 From 1980 through 2010, We Want to Hear From You.
