Animal research is required for all drug development and largely funded by taxpayers. In 2004, FDA released a report that animal models fail more than succeed, too expensive, recognized non-animal methods that are more effective, and without an overhaul of current method, healthcare in U.S. will end. Since that report, nothing has changed-healthcare has plummeted and medicine is inaccessible to the poor. Many scientists and physicians concur that animal model research is unrelated to humans and based on bad science and greed.
Animal Welfare Act allows legalized torture of animals and many researches have nothing to do with drug development. Human volunteers are used to test drugs created on bad data.
Stop the archaic animal research and begin utilizing our advanced technology & science.
