Despite a multitude of non-animal methods and models, the number of animals used in laboratories is not decreasing. It is even increasing in basic research and in\u00a0experiments that cause significant harm to animals. Our research strategy starts\u00a0in research, on the legal level and in education to enable a breakthrough for future-oriented, animal-free, ethically justifiable and scientifically sound research with results relevant for humans.<\/p>\n

The Animalfree Research Foundation has been active in promoting the practical development of alternative methods to animal experimentation since its establishment in 1976. It was thus a pioneer in this field. In the meantime, numerous foundations and organizations worldwide have become involved, and a considerable and growing community of researchers is also concerned with the topic. Despite this encouraging development, however, it is also apparent:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb use_icon=»on» font_icon=»||fa||900″ icon_color=»#B3C965″ icon_placement=»left» content_max_width=»700px» _builder_version=»4.20.2″ _module_preset=»default» header_text_color=»#000000″ header_line_height=»1.2em» body_line_height=»1.6em» global_colors_info=»{}»]<\/p>\n

Animal testing is still considered the gold standard. However, our current scientific knowledge, supported by empirical evidence, demonstrates that animal testing has no predictive value for human outcomes.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb use_icon=»on» font_icon=»||fa||900″ icon_color=»#B3C965″ icon_placement=»left» content_max_width=»700px» _builder_version=»4.20.2″ _module_preset=»default» header_text_color=»#000000″ header_line_height=»1.2em» body_line_height=»1.6em» hover_enabled=»0″ global_colors_info=»{}» sticky_enabled=»0″]<\/p>\n

Alternative methods to animal testing are used in research, but they are not prioritized, especially in basic research.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb use_icon=»on» font_icon=»||fa||900″ icon_color=»#B3C965″ icon_placement=»left» content_max_width=»700px» _builder_version=»4.20.2″ _module_preset=»default» header_text_color=»#000000″ header_line_height=»1.2em» body_line_height=»1.6em» global_colors_info=»{}»]<\/p>\n

Alternative methods to animal testing are used in research, but they are not given primary consideration, which is particularly observable in basic research.<\/p>\n

The legal basis requires that non-animal methods, if available, are preferable to animal experiments. In practice, however, it is evident that most submitted research applications involving animal experiments are still approved without sufficient scrutiny or consideration of alternative methods.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb use_icon=»on» font_icon=»||fa||900″ icon_color=»#B3C965″ icon_placement=»left» content_max_width=»700px» _builder_version=»4.20.2″ _module_preset=»default» header_text_color=»#000000″ header_line_height=»1.2em» body_line_height=»1.6em» hover_enabled=»0″ global_colors_info=»{}» sticky_enabled=»0″]<\/p>\n

Funding for the development of animal-free models is still minimal in comparison\u00a0to research funding for projects that rely on animal models.<\/p>\n
