Center for Alternatives
to Animal Testing
|
The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal
Testing (CAAT) has worked with scientists since 1981 to find new methods
to replace the use of laboratory animals in experiments, reduce the
number of animals tested, and refine necessary tests to eliminate pain
and distress.

FRAME:
Funding the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments
|
"FRAME advocates the Three Rs approach to this dilemma.
Our long-term goal is the total elimination of laboratory animal use,
through the development, validation and acceptance of replacement
alternative methods. Until this goal is reached, we also support efforts
to reduce the numbers of animals used through better science and better
experimental design, and to refine procedures so that the suffering of
any animals necessarily used is minimized. FRAME seeks to promote a
moderate, but nonetheless determined, approach, by encouraging a
realistic consideration of the ethical and scientific issues involved
and the widest possible adoption of the Three R's."

"As many as 115 million animals are experimented on and
killed in laboratories in the U.S. every year. Much of the
experimentation-including pumping chemicals into rats' stomachs, hacking
muscle tissue from dogs' thighs, and putting baby monkeys in isolation
chambers far from their mothers-is paid for by you, the American
taxpayer and consumer, yet you can't visit a laboratory and see how the
government has spent your money. You can't even get an accurate count on
the number of animals killed every year because experimenters and the
government have decided that mice and rats and certain other animals
don't even have to be counted."
