| Message | Herr Präsident, we oppose restricting the methodology of scientific research - it shouldn't be up to us politicians to determine which practices are most viable to produce valuable results and innovations for society. Our job should be to impose a framework of ethical rules, but such a scheme is already in place, and the current regulations are more than sufficient. Ariane von Gehrfeld, MdR LVP/LB-Mitrania Wissenschaftsministerin |

| Message | Herr Präsident, We disagree of course, the point is there is no reason to use animals in scientific research and the way most of the animals who are used in research are treated (often euthanised due to trauma) is completely unacceptable. No one is accusing the scientific community of sadism, we realise that most of the post-research methods are unavoidable but research in the first place is avoidable and there are numerous alternatives to defenceless animals.
