Breaking: Government publishes strategy on animal testing, but it’s not enough
The UK Government has just released its long-awaited strategy to support the development, validation and adoption of alternatives to animal testing. While it includes some welcome steps, it falls short of the bold action needed to truly transform medical research.
Crucially, the strategy fails to commit to Herbie’s Law, a vital measure that would end experiments on animals and accelerate the shift to modern, human-specific science.
We cannot afford to let this opportunity slip away. That’s why we’re asking you to take urgent action today - it only takes 2 minutes.
Please email your MP today to call for them to respond to the Government's strategy by showing their support for Herbie’s Law and join over 145 of their colleagues who already support Herbie’s Law in Parliament.
Animal Free Research UK’s full response to the strategy is available here.
