The ethical case
Dogs are sensitive, social animals. Breeding dogs for experiments sends them into a system that can legally permit pain, distress, lasting harm and death. If dogs are only meant to be used when another species or method will not achieve the purpose, then every dog experiment is an ethical question — not just a technical one.
What we are asking for
- An end to the breeding of dogs for experiments.
- Faster replacement with non-animal methods wherever possible.
- Honest public discussion about what the official records already show.
- Careful, peaceful campaigning rooted in evidence and compassion.
Questions to ask
- What level of suffering would you personally consider acceptable if the benefits were uncertain?
- Should the public know more about how these decisions are made?
- If there were alternatives that could replace some animal experiments, should their use be mandatory?
