869: History of the Anti-Vivisection Movement from Animal-Free Science Advocacy
Description
History of the Anti-Vivisection Movement from Animal-Free Science Advocacy at AnimalFreeScienceAdvocacy.org.au

Animal-Free Science Advocacy (AFSA) Vision: “A future where no animals are harmed in the name of science, and scientific progress is advanced through animal-free research methods”
Why?
-
Research data obtained from animal experimentation and extrapolated to human conditions is unreliable and ineffective, and delays progress for human health.
-
Animal-based research and teaching represents unnecessarily cruel, empirically compromised and unethical treatment of non-consenting sentient beings.
-
The replacement of animals with validated non-animal methods will facilitate scientifically reliable, effective, empirically valid research outcomes.
AFSA recognises that some research, such as observation of wild animals for conservation purposes, is non-invasive, and that in some circumstances, veterinary research or training can be conducted without harm to animals. Whilst we advocate for animal-free research, we accept that under very limited conditions, animal use may be permissible, when in the interests of the individual animal/s used in such research. Put simply, they disagree with any harmful use of animals in science
What is ‘harmful use’? Any use of animals that cause pain, suffering, distress, or lasting negative impact, including death—without any clear benefit to the animals themselves. Note: even if the research conducted is not considered harmful, the laboratory environment itself can cause suffering and the prevention of natural behaviors and thus be detrimental.
