Bristol and Bath Universities Ditch Discredited “Drowning” Tests on Rodents

In January 2025, the University of Bristol in the UK bowed to pressure from animal protection advocates and officially banned the widely criticised “forced swim test” on mice and rats. A month later…

Yes, even dogs are tested on. It’s usually beagles who bear the brunt of our mercilessness. They are docile and forgiving, so they fight back less when harmed. What does that say about us that we take…

Because laboratories and research breeding facilities are closed-door operations, we don’t often have names and faces to identify the animals who suffer in the animal testing industry. But we know tha...

🚨 New OA article 🚨 In which I argue that a gradual, controlled transition away from animal-reliant methods requires a break with laissez-faire science policy. #3Rs #animalexperimentation #animalresearch #animalethics doi.org/10.1017/pls....

Screenshot of title and abstract of Nico Müller's new article entitled "No transition without participation: Why moving beyond animal studies requires public input into the research agenda"

The abstract reads: "In many countries, a large portion of animal studies serve publicly funded research purposes, yet a transition beyond animal research is politically desired. This article argues that a gradual transition is obstructed by three commitments of traditional science policy: (1) the state should provide resources for research; (2) it should leave the direction of research to the scientific community; and (3) it should set side constraints for research. This framework severely restricts public influence on the amount and kind of animal research conducted with public funds. The public can allocate some extra resources to the innovation of alternatives to animal models or tighten legal side constraints, but neither approach is likely to significantly decrease
reliance on animal research overall. A gradual transition away from publicly funded animal research toward new approaches is feasible only if the second commitment is reconsidered, allowing the public greater
influence over the research agenda."

"This article argues that the law’s ignorance of the harm of killing leads to its trivialization in practice and, consequently, undermines the ethical legitimacy of deadly animal research projects." #animalresearch #3rs #animalethics doi.org/10.1007/s11019-02…

Screenshot of the abstract of the article "How ignoring the harm of killing undermines the ethical legitimacy of animal research: a case study from Switzerland" by Christian Rodriguez, Charlotte Blattner, and Angela Martin. The abstract reads:

The most established approach to legitimizing animal research worldwide is through Harm-Benefit Analyses (HBAs), which require that the expected benefits of research be compared to and outweigh the harms done to animals. For this process to be ethically sound, all relevant harms must be considered. However, HBAs leave one fundamental harm insufficiently considered: killing, i.e., the deliberate termination of animals’ lives as part of the research project. This article argues that the law’s ignorance of the harm of killing leads to its trivialization in practice and, consequently, undermines the ethical legitimacy of deadly animal research projects. While our argument applies broadly, we use Switzerland as an illustrative case example. We first disentangle, from an ethical standpoint, the harms that killings inflict on animals in research. Second, we show that most harms of killing, both to the inherent worth and wellbeing of animals, are not accounted for in law, allowing killings to be trivialized. Third, we propose that killing should always (a) be subject to ethical and legal scrutiny by animal research commissions, (b) have to pass the necessity test (i.e., killing should be permitted if, and only if, it is necessary to achieve the purpose of the experiment), and (c) be included in HBAs. Fourth, we consider common objections to our arguments, and, in concluding, show why recognizing the harm of killing is essential to upholding the ethical legitimacy of animal research.
