Brazil paves the way for animal-free chemical testing Featured

According to the non-governmental organization Humane Society International, the Brazilian Senate has passed a new law on chemical management that limits animal testing to a last resort and requires the development of a strategic plan for the complete elimination of animal testing. The law still has to be approved by the Brazilian President.


It is the right way to use modern technologies to ensure the safety of chemicals and not rely on old and cruel animal testing, said Senator and lawyer Fabiano Contarato from the Workers' Party, who drafted the law himself.
