Animals in Veterinary Medicines Research
Without modern medicines, millions of people and animals would not be
alive today. The discovery and development of those medicines could not have been achieved
without research and testing, some of which, by necessity, must involve animals. As old
diseases are conquered and new ones emerge, today's research will benefit future
generations.
Medicines have to be as safe as possible: for animals, for those
administering the medicine, for the environment and for consumers of animal produce. They
have to be of high quality and have to work. This means they have to be tested - this is
not just common sense, but a legal requirement.
