#AnimalResearch saves lives, yet opponents say that it is ineffective and even fails to protect #HumanHealth.
EARA examined the facts in this feature, which highlights the essential understanding & breakthroughs that only exist thanks to studying animals eara.eu/post/feature-a…
🧵 Here are some key points on the common mistruths about #AnimalResearch & its benefits:
1) 92% of drugs that work in preclinical tests fail in humans – This is a misleading statistic. #AnimalTesting ensures potentially harmful drugs are rejected so only those that are proven… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2) 89% of preclinical studies (mostly involving animals) couldn't be reproduced – Reproducibility affects all aspects of science & research, not just #AnimalResearch. Singling out animals as the main problem is inaccurate as lab practices are often to blame, while non-animal… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

THIS COULD BE THE MOST HORRIFIC ANIMAL SUFFERING PICTURE YOU WILL SEE TODAY, & YOU PROBABLY CANNOT TELL WHAT’S HAPPENING. This is the horror of industrial scale animal experimentation. #Rats have been forced into tubes and inserted into this device. #EndAnimalExperiments Image
These inquisitive, intelligent beings are unable to move and must be terrified. This contraption can choke to death up to 50 #animals at a time. Next, a technician switches on the machine and it fills with aerosol paint.
These animals are trapped & utterly immobile, with the only air available suddenly thick with choking paint for 3 hours. Half of them died, with survivors barely alive at the end of the test. The conclusion? Forced inhalation of paint is poisonous to #rats. #StopAnimalTesting

@euro writes (vital thread) to warn us that

1/ EU regulations are not perfect but are not ‘red tape’ either. They improve the quality of our everyday lives by protecting our rights as #workers and #consumers, our #environment and #wildlife and the quality of the #food we eat.

I personally experienced that EU decisions were all scrutinised by UK Parliamentary Committees before they became law! kentbylines.co.uk/balance-of-com…
2/ These EU laws were created with the support of the governments of all the political parties when the UK was in the EU.
EU laws – that the Government now wants to dismantle – protect us in the workplace. They guarantee our paid holidays, reduce the gender pay gap and protect

Over 70% of drugs that seem promising in animal studies fail when tested in humans. Organ-on-a-chip technology could radically change this picture. whatisbiotechnology.org/index.php/scie…
Designed with cells from the human body, as this series of tweets show #Organonachips have taken many decades to materialise, starting with John Syer Bristoe’s idea for an artificial organ in 1876 John_SyerBristowe was a British Physician based at St Thomas
The development of #Organonachip is rooted in the concept of the #3Rs (Reduce, Refine and Replace animal testing) first outlined in 1959 by William Russell and Rex Burch

At Sentient Media, we report on an industry that touches all our lives yet operates in secrecy: factory farming.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we call on governments to lift #AgGag laws and share 13 findings we could only report thanks to the help of undercover investigators.👇1/17 Image
“Ag-gag” laws punish whistleblowers and investigators for recording footage inside #FactoryFarms.

In 2021, @ALDF released a film on how #AgGag laws conflict with the First Amendment while concealing pollution, food safety threats, and animal cruelty. 2/17
