The animal rights association “Menschen für Tierrechte - Bundesverband der Tierversuchsgegner” (People for Animal Rights) urgently warns of a “breach of the dam under animal protection law”. such a law could significantly restrict the rights of laboratory animals. In contrast, the strategy to reduce animal testing has been on ice for months. It was actually supposed to be presented to the public on the 24th of April 25.

Animal testing: government plans to reduce protection in the laboratory Featured

This would have serious consequences for their protection.
