“…Beginning in 2008 in Austria, there has been a law suit fighting to get a chimpanzee called Matthew Hiasl Pan declared 'a person' and so achieve for him the same rights as humans, including a pension (see Knight, 2011). The Austrian Parliament, in 2005, banned experimental procedures on apes unless they were in the interests of the individual ape.…”

“…Estimates for global annual use in research and testing are variable, with the most comprehensive estimates ranging from 115.3 million to 126.9 million non-human vertebrate animals. Both estimates are considered conservative [3,4]. The U.S. uses the most animals in research and testing in the world [3].…”

Review of Evidence of Environmental Impacts of Animal Research and Testing

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Millions of animals are used in research and toxicity testing, including in drug, medical device, chemical, cosmetic, personal care, household, and other product sectors, but the environmental consequences are yet to be adequately addressed. Evidence suggests that their use and disposal, and the associated use of chemicals and supplies, contribute to pollution as well as adverse impacts on biodiversity and public health. The objective of this review is to examine such evidence. The review includes examinations of (1) resources used in animal research; (2) waste production in laboratories; (3) sources of pollution; (4) impacts on laboratory workers' health; and (5) biodiversity impacts. The clear conclusion from the review is that the environmental implications of animal testing must be acknowledged, reported, and taken into account as another factor in addition to ethical and scientific reasons weighing heavily in favor of moving away from allowing and requiring animal use in research and testing.

“…Given the consistent lack of relevance of animal data to human clinical practice (8,9), the presence of registries such as this should allow us to move past the use of animal data and instead use human pédiatrie data to add meaningful direction to our current CPR guidelines of "Push hard and push fast." First, they suggest that the focus of Advanced Life Support training should be concentrated on PICU staff, as most CA occurs there.…”
