Benefits

Articles explain how animal testing contributes to various fields and industries. Topics include medical research, veterinary advances, food safety, and product development processes.

Animal Testing on Cosmetics

Many countries still allow animal testing for cosmetics despite bans in the UK and EU, testing for safety, toxicity, and skin reactions.

Animal Tests in Military Defence

Military testing on animals has doubled in Britain over five years, raising concerns about weapons development and surgical research methods.

Biomedical Research and Animal Testing

Animal testing in biomedical research helps scientists develop new drugs and understand genetic disorders to improve human health.

Food Production and Animal Testing

Animal testing plays a key role in food safety, but it raises questions about whether there are better alternatives to protect human health.

Other Uses of Animals in Testing Procedures

Animal testing extends far beyond cosmetics and drugs to include genetics research, breeding studies, and evolutionary investigations in laboratories.

Testing and Trialling Medicines for Humans

How medicines go through animal testing and human clinical trials before approval, and why both stages matter for drug safety.

Toxicology Testing Using Animals

About a million animals yearly undergo toxicology tests to check if drugs and chemicals are safe before human use.

Veterinary Medicine and Animal Testing

Animal testing helps develop veterinary treatments for dogs, cats and other animals, from rabies vaccines to cancer drugs.
