#FDA plans to phase out #animaltesting requirements
The FDA said it would launch a pilot program over the next year allowing select developers of monoclonal antibodies to use a primarily non-animal-based testing strategy. Commissioner Marty Makary in a statement said the shift would improve #drug safety, lower research and development costs and address ethical concerns about animal experimentation.

Lab mice sent to retire in a French elementary school classroom.

A pilot project follows the adaptation of rodents while offering children education in ethology.

The project, named Merci – for "Muridés en retraite chez les instits" ("Retired Rodents with Teachers") – was conceived by Ethosph'R, an organisation working with professionals concerned with mitigating the impacts of their research.

Good science as an alternative to bad science

To get the public on our side, we need to use the scientific as well as the moral argument against animal testing, both of which complement each other very strongly. Listen to Dr Andre Menache from Antidote Europe

God videnskab som alternativ til dårlig videnskab.

For at få offentligheden på vores side, skal vi bruge det videnskabelige såvel som det moralske argument mod dyreforsøg.
Det moralske og det videnskabelige argument supplerer hinanden meget kraftigt, fortæller en af Stop Vivisektion Danmarks eksterne videnskabelige rådgiver.

Continued thread

Update. New study: "I discuss data sharing and re-use as a moral imperative for research that uses #animals in neuroscience. I argue that we are ethically required to make sure that we gain as much knowledge as possible from the animals we use, and that doing so involves making sure that the data from our experiment makes it into the public record of knowledge."

In the U.S., residents are warned after 43 monkeys escape South Carolina research facility.

From @CBSNews: "Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes," police said earlier. "If you spot any of the escaped animals, please contact 911 immediately and refrain from approaching them."

Another benefit of #OpenAccess and #OpenData is to reduce #AnimalTesting.

In research on #animals "it is essential that the results are communicated to maximum effect to avoid…duplication of experiments & to make the best use of the resulting data. Alternatives to animal testing…need to gain maximum exposure to ensure the most significant possible contribution to the Three Rs (i.e. Reduction, Refinement or Replacement of animal testing)."
