I believe all research using animals should be subject to ethics review even if it is an invertebrate that is not covered by law - humane and ethical thinking should be applied to all animals and this will ensure good science #animalwelfare #ethics #3Rs https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-022-01272-8

FDA no longer needs to require #animaltests before human drug trials

"In place of the 1938 stipulation that potential drugs be tested for safety and efficacy in animals, the law allows FDA to promote a drug or biologic—a larger molecule such as an antibody—to human trials after either animal or nonanimal tests."

If #Insects are indeed #sentient, what would that mean for #animalwelfare law, and how we treat them in #farming, at home, in #research? Should we extend extend #AnimalWelfare Act 2006, so insect farms minimising suffering and use #humaneslaughter?.

What about Animals in Scientific Procedures Act? Like protecting octopuses should we regulate insect research, apply #3Rs and #ethics?

In the field of #3Rs, @GoEQIPD is a key actor. This article depicts an important work to manage experimental variations and how statistics are so important. https://twitter.com/PLOSBiology/status/1595778009763487744

Travelling home after a fascinating few days in Bern for the launch of the #Advancing3Rs #NRP79 from the SNSF. Great to hear all the interdisciplinary & innovative #3Rs projects just starting and help facilitate conversations about implementation from the outset #AnimalResearch #AnimalWelfare #3Rs
In closing discussions we talked about how to sustain communication between projects, here or elsewhere, so this is an experiment to see what engagement might follow.

Rethink #farm #animal #production: the #3Rs [#Replacement, #Reduction, #Refinement]

"70 billion terrestrial animals and between 59 and 129 billion aquatic animals are used annually, compared with 192 million #research animals [~670 times less animals]. However, animal #farming is not scrutinized through the lens of the 3Rs and instead remains focused on increasing production to feed the world. The justification for this #ethical discrepancy is unclear."
