Description[?]:
| Current scientific research has too much focus on animal experimentation, Especially in the areas of pharmaceuticas and cosmetics. This party proposes all cosmetic research done with animals is banned, and research with animals for other purposes is stritcly regulated and a last option. What is the point in using animals for research when they behave very differently to us to many chemicals and circumstances? There is none, but animal testing for pharmaceuticals is still required because if the drugs developed are 'wrong' better to kill an animal than a human. |
